Earlier, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom denied such a prospect
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson does not rule out that refugees from Ukraine, if they arrive in the country without permission, may be sent to Rwanda. He said this during a visit to the Rwandan capital Kigali
Earlier, Johnson said that the prospect of deporting Ukrainian refugees to Rwanda under a controversial government scheme , released in April , “will not happen”, reports The Guardian.
“But if you come here illegally, you are substituting all those who come here legally. And this is madness. Therefore, the answer is yes, theoretically it can happen. But I think it's very unlikely, “he said.
Rwanda's plan to combat smuggling routes through La -Manch was introduced a special law passed by the British Parliament in April. It applies to the majority of migrants who have crossed the border illegally and have been declared ineligible for asylum because they arrived in Britain through safe countries.
For this, London will pay Rwanda 120 million pounds (144 million euros) for economic development. Deported migrants, regardless of their country of origin, will be able to apply for asylum in Rwanda. Thanks to this agreement, Britain hopes to prevent secret crossings of the English Channel, the number of which continues to grow.
An agreement that allows the UK to send illegal migrants and asylum seekers to Rwanda, has drawn serious criticism from human rights groups, opposition figures in both countries and even the United Nations.
