Posted at 10:3610:36UK plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda ruled unlawfulThe British government has lost the latest round in the legal battle over its controversial Rwanda deportation policy.The Court of Appeal ruled in favour of a group of people who arrived in the UK in small boats, plus an asylum charity, who argued the policy is unlawful.A panel of three judges were split over whether Rwanda qualified as a “safe third country” for UK asylum cases to be heard, and two said it did not.It is likely ministers will challenge the ruling in the Supreme Court.
