Bolanle OlabimtanThe court of appeal is set to hear a case challenging a plan by the British government to transfer asylum seekers to Rwanda.
The court of appeal will be asked to weigh a number of issues, such as whether the high court judges erred in their conclusion that there were adequate safeguards to prevent asylum seekers from being sent to a nation where they were at risk of persecution and whether the program is “systemically unfair.”that the UK government intends to begin sending asylum seekers to Rwanda for processing.
Defending the policy, Paul Kagame, president of Rwanda, had said his country’s agreement with the UK is not for “trading of human beings”.Kagame added that Rwanda is only trying to help and was approached because of its past experience in handling immigrants.
