British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has appealed to his ruling conservative party to unite behind his plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda. He has warned that if he toughened it any further, the whole scheme could collapse. The Rwanda plan is at the center of Sunak’s immigration policy, and its success is likely to be key to the fortunes of his conservative party.

UK government's plan to transfer asylum seekers to Rwanda is illegal, according to the British Supreme Court, because they wouldn't be safe there. The plan would expose asylum seekers to "risk of ill-treatment," as they could be returned to their home countries after being in Rwanda, according to the majority decision rendered by the UK's highest court on Wednesday. To know more watch this interview with Senior Journalist Nicholas Nugent.

UK Court: Rwanda not safe for asylum seekers

The UK government has proposed plans to include India in the expanded list of 'safe states' which will escalate the process of bringing illegal Indian migrants back to their country and rule out their chances of getting asylum in the country. 
 
India and Georgia were the countries which were proposed to be added to the list in a&nbsp;draft legislation tabled in the House of Commons on Wednesday (Nov 8). 
 
The UK Home Office stated that the step is being taken to strengthen the immigration system of the country and help in preventing abuse by people who make unfounded protection claims. 
 
“We must stop people making dangerous and illegal journeys to the UK from fundamentally safe countries,” stated UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman. 
 
“Expanding this list will allow us to more swiftly remove people with no right to be here and sends a clear message that if you come here illegally, you cannot stay. We remain committed to delivering the measures in our Illegal Migration Act, which will play a part in the fight against illegal migration,” she added.

The step is in accordance with the measures being taken to meet the pledge of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to “stop the boats” of migrants which are illegally reaching the shores of the country. 
 
The Home Office stated that there has been an increase in Indian and Georgian small boat arrivals over the last year. 
 
"Deeming these countries safe will mean that if an individual arrives illegally from either one, we will not admit their claim to the UK asylum system,” the Home Office stated.

<h2>Proposal to pass through UK parliament</h2>

Other nations which have been marked as safe by the UK include Switzerland and Albania, along with the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) states.

A country is added to the safe states list through a legislative measure known&nbsp;as Section 80AA if the home secretary feels it is eligible&nbsp;and there is no risk of persecution of its nationals, and sending back the nationals to that country does not go against the UK’s obligations under the Human Rights Convention. 
 
The Home Office said it "has rigorously assessed India and Georgia and determined that both meet these criteria.” 
 
The proposal will now pass through parliament and debates will take place on the issue in both Houses&nbsp;before the legislation comes into force. 
 
The latest step of the UK government falls within the Illegal Migration Act 2023, which is aimed to "stop the boats" through a change in laws so that people who travel to the UK illegally can get detained and then go back to their home country swiftly.

Gravitas Global Headlines: Rwanda stays committed to UK asylum deal

UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman visited Rwanda on Saturday to hold deliberations over a contentious arrangement that would see the UK deport asylum seekers who are thought to have entered the country unlawfully to the African nation.&nbsp;

No one has been deported as of yet, but the plan is beset with legal issues. Braverman's visit has drawn criticism since she only asked journalists from right-wing publications to tag along with her during her Rwanda trip.&nbsp;

The visit comes as the UK government considers a controversial plan to deport asylum seekers to third countries, including Rwanda, where the asylum claims would be processed. British high commissioner to Rwanda Omar Daair and the permanent secretary of the Rwandan foreign ministry Clementine Mukeka welcomed Braverman as she landed in Kigali.&nbsp;

In a statement released on Friday, Suella Braverman said the "UK-Rwanda Migration and Economic Development Partnership is a ground-breaking approach that will act as a powerful deterrent against dangerous and illegal journeys such as small boat crossing".

The plan to transfer asylum seekers to third countries has been criticised by human rights groups and some politicians. They argue that it would violate international law and put vulnerable people at risk.&nbsp;

However, the UK government maintains that such a policy is necessary to deter illegal immigration and reduce the strain on the country's overstretched asylum system. Rwanda has not publicly commented on the proposal but has signalled a willingness to cooperate with the UK on matters of migration and security.

Under the Rwanda plan, some asylum seekers will be transferred to Rwanda on one-way tickets during the five-year trial in order to apply for asylum there. The first flight was supposed to depart in June but was postponed due to legal issues after an intervention by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).&nbsp;Once deported, people could be given permission to remain in Rwanda as refugees. If not, they can apply to live there on other grounds or ask for asylum in a "safe third nation".

For the programme, the UK would be giving the Rwandan government £140 million over five years. Flights to Rwanda, food, lodging, access to translators, and legal counsel would all be additional expenses. The annual cost of the UK's asylum system is £1.5 billion. Spending on hotel rooms for refugees and asylum seekers is close to £7 million a day.&nbsp;

The bill's impracticality is another worry. The Rwandan government has said that it will only be able to handle 1,000 applications for refuge over the first five years. In comparison, it is projected that in 2022 alone, 45,755 individuals will have entered the UK using tiny boats that crossed the English Channel.

A UK court concluded in December that the Rwanda plan is legitimate. It claimed that the UN Refugee Convention is not violated by the Rwanda plan. On the other hand, the High Court decided on January 16 that some of the parties who lost the case had the right to challenge certain portions of its ruling. As a result, no planes will be permitted to depart for Rwanda while the matter is before the Court of Appeal. No date has been set.

UK Home Secretary Braverman visits Rwanda as legal difficulties with asylum agreement loom large

A UK-based whistleblower has revealed children seeking asylum being subjected to racial abuse and assault at a Home Office-run hotel, calling on the British government to act immediately, reports the Guardian newspaper.&nbsp;According to reports, the whistleblower, who worked at the hotel in Brighton for over a year, scores of children who arrived in the UK without parents or a carer suffered “emotional abuse” and were later driven onto the streets and joined criminal gangs.

The revelation comes a week after an investigation by the Observer newspaper revealed that dozens of youngsters were kidnapped by gangs from the same hotel, prompting calls for a public inquiry.&nbsp;The report&nbsp;said that more than 200 children are missing from the hotels managed by the Home Office.

A week after the report, another whistleblower came forward and claimed that some more children in the Brighton hotel are being threatened.

“I heard staff threatening to throw children out of the window and joking about them going missing,” the whistleblower told the&nbsp;Observer.

He further said that despite flagging the inappropriate staff behaviour, no action was taken by the Brighton hotel, one of seven run by the Home Office.

“There was a lot of xenophobic stuff, like: ‘Fuck off back to your country.’ Somebody heard one senior staff member calling a child a ‘fucking terrorist’.”

He added that staff would regularly talk about children being abducted from nearby streets and that the targeting of youngsters was common knowledge.

The Sussex police have been apprised of the matter and have started investigating a potential trafficking case after three children got into a car outside the Brighton hotel.

According to reports, the car was driven towards London before police intercepted it. However, Home Office sources maintained they have no evidence of children being kidnapped, reports Guardian.

Responding to these reports, a Home Office spokesperson denied that the children are being kidnapped.

“We have not received any complaints in relation to these claims. The wellbeing of children in our care is an absolute priority. Robust safeguards are in place to ensure they are safe and supported as we seek urgent placements with a local authority. When issues do arise, we take complaints extremely seriously and they are acted upon quickly.”

“In October, the independent immigration watchdog found young people in hotel accommodation unanimously reported feeling safe, happy and treated with respect,” the spokesperson was quoted as saying by the Guardian.

UK plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda is legal, rules high court

Despite some of them having been granted asylum in other nations, the Tajikistani authorities are apparently gathering up Afghan refugees and forcing them to cross the border back into Afghanistan.&nbsp;

According to reports from Tajikistan's 10,000-strong Afghan refugee community, recent round-ups of Afghan families who have sought asylum in the nation since the Taliban's takeover in August 2021 have resulted in people being picked up off the street and homes being searched.&nbsp;

The Tajikistani government has been urged to halt the forced deportations by the UNHCR, the UN organisation for refugees. It is unclear why they are doing this or what their strategy is; up until a few weeks ago, the Tajikistani government was working with the UNHCR to house and resettle Afghans who were escaping the rule of the Taliban.

While statistics on recent Tajikistan deportations are not yet available, the UN has documented a case of five Afghans being forced to return on August 23. In spite of UNHCR's efforts to stop the deportations, they included "a family consisting of three children and their mother, [and] were deported to Afghanistan through the Panji Poyon border gate in southern Tajikistan," the UN agency said.&nbsp;

According to Afghans in Tajikistan who spoke to the Guardian, the number of people being forcibly deported back into Afghanistan amounts in the hundreds, and the number of forced deportations has been rising over the previous two weeks. They claimed that many Afghan refugees were being sent back without passports or other forms of identification, leaving them on their own and unable to travel to a place of safety.

No one in Samira's family has dared to leave their apartment in a small village in northern Tajikistan for nearly a week. Her kids haven't gone to school, and they don't feel secure enough to go buy food or necessities for their health.&nbsp;

Samira is terrified of the deportations even though she and her family are also just about to immigrate to Canada. Her biggest concern is for her kids, who have already been through a great deal of trauma. “The refugee life has been hard on children. They deserved a better future,” she said.
