Rwanda asylum seeker plan ruled lawful
The UK Government's plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda is lawful, the High Court has ruled.
Lord Justice Lewis said the policy, introduced under Boris Johnson, was "consistent with the refugee convention".
However, he said the Home Secretary should look at people's "particular circumstances" before deporting them to the central African country.
The senior judge ruled the first people who were set to be sent to Rwanda had not had their circumstances "properly considered" by the person then in post, Priti Patel.
