A ruling against the Tory policy on 15 November likely to increase pressure on Sunak to leave European convention on human rights
Rishi Sunak’s government will discover next Wednesday whether its flagship immigration policy of sending asylum seekers to Rwanda is lawful.If the decision goes against the government, Sunak is expected to come under intense pressure from the right of his party to promise to leave the European convention on human rights .
However, Raza Husain KC, for several of the asylum seekers at risk of deportation to Rwanda, later described the country’s asylum system as “woefully deficient … marked by acute unfairness and arbitrariness”. The policy of sending tens of thousands of asylum seekers to the east African country where their claims would be processed was first announced by the then prime minister Boris Johnson in April 2022.
