Protesters Furious At Plan To Send Asylum Seekers To Rwanda

Activists slammed the government’s deportation policy, which will see those who arrive in Britain illegally face deportation 4,000 miles away to east Africa.

More than 100 protesters carried placards and broke out into chants criticising the plan – put forward by Home Secretary Priti Patel in April – which is aimed at discouraging people trying to cross the channel in small boats from northern France.

The plans have been widely criticised on human rights grounds but a legal challenge to block the first one-way flight to Rwanda on Tuesday has been rejected by the High Court. A total of 31 people were due on the flight, although at least 15 of them have since had their tickets cancelled.
