UK Parliament approves Rwanda deportation bill
The UK Parliament has approved a bill that allows the British government to deport some migrants to Rwanda. The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has been pushing for this legislation, requiring judges to consider Rwanda a safe third country. The British government is hoping to deport thousands of migrants who have arrived in the country in recent years, many of whom have fled wars and poverty in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The deportation flights are set to begin in July. To gain more insight into this, VOA’s Paul Ndiho spoke to Yasmine Ahmed, the UK director at Human Rights Watch, via Skype.
