UK's Rwanda Deportation Plan Set to Begin Amid Legal and Humanitarian Concerns

The UK government's controversial plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda is poised to start, facing criticism over legality and human rights implications.

• The UK's deportation plan, involving multiple flights to Rwanda, is expected to start within 12 weeks, aiming to deter illegal Channel crossings.
• Critics, including human rights groups and the Refugee Council, argue the plan could lead to a system meltdown and infringe on human rights.
• Legal challenges are anticipated as lawyers consider the plan's compatibility with the European Convention on Human Rights.
• Rwanda has prepared facilities, including Hope Hostel, to accommodate the migrants, despite ongoing opposition to the plan.
• Botswana declined a similar proposal from the UK, citing its own immigration challenges, as the UK explores additional partnerships.
