The Rwanda scheme is #PlaneCruelty
It punishes people for seeking safety, with terrifying consequences, including risks of being re-trafficked or returned to the dangers they fled
🚨Tell Rishi to abandon the Rwanda plan and create safe, organised routes: change.org/p/stop-the-rwa…
The #RwandaAct says unsafe is safe, black is white. This is legislative performative cruelty by a Govt running out of road.
I just spent time with Carine Kanimba #ijf24 . Her father, Paul Rusesabagina, was kidnapped by Rwanda. This is a brutal regime.
What a shameful day for the UK.

🎙️ Our Policy & Advocacy Coordinator will be reflecting on this bleak day for refugee rights, what it means for the people we support, and what we can all do going forward on BBC Radio Oxford and BBC Radio Berkshire tonight at 5 pm.
On the day the #RwandaBill passes, this is the reality of people's lives when seeking asylum. This inhumane policy won't stop people coming to the UK to find safety. It means they are at more risk of being forced into dangerous journeys and exploitation.

I have serious #HumanRights concerns about United Kingdom’s #RwandaBill . Its adoption by the UK Parliament raises major issues about the rights of #asylum seekers and the #RuleOfLaw .
