We join 250 organisations in outrage at the 'Safety of Rwanda' bill which passed into law today. It is a shameful law that risks people's lives and undermines the rule of law in the UK. independent.co.uk/news/uk/immigr…

The Government's cruel Rwanda Bill will now become law

It rips human rights away from people who come to the UK hoping for safety for them and their loved ones

With Freedom from Torture🧡 + Amnesty UK, we transformed Parliament to let everyone know about this crime against compassion

The heads of UNHCR  and UN Human Rights are calling on the UK to reconsider its plan to transfer asylum-seekers to Rwanda.

UK courts will be prevented from properly scrutinising removal decisions, leaving people with limited room to appeal even if they face significant risk.

Following the passing of the “Safety of Rwanda” Act by the UK, UN leaders have sounded the alarm on the harmful impact it will have on global responsibility sharing, human rights and refugee protection.

URGENT RWANDA NOTICE 🚨

DO NOT respond until you have legal advice

The #RwandaBill rips basic human rights away from people seeking safety in the UK, puts everyone else’s rights at risk and places Gov above the law

Read and share our new briefing: gmiau.org/refugee-homele…

In Greater Manchester we are proud of our commitments on housing and homelessness for all residents, including new refugees and migrants.
Local councils and voluntary sector organisations are clear –  evictions must stop until there is sufficient housing for people to move on to.

This is a lovely story and one which resonates with us and the people we support, who are keen to contribute to life in Calderdale and beyond. Well done Omaid 🧡
