UK plans to send the first plane carrying refugees to Rwanda despite last-gasp legal bids and protests against the controversial policy, dubbed 'immoral' and 'evil' by critics
Protesters hold placards as they gather outside the Home Office in central London to demonstrate against the UK government's plan to deport asylum-seekers to Rwanda.
Claimants had argued that a decision on the policy should have waited until a full hearing on the legality of the policy next month. Home Secretary Priti Patel should wait for the July hearing if she "had any respect, not just for the desperate people who come to this country, but for the workers she employs", Serwotka told Sky News.Protesters gathered outside the Royal Courts of Justice and the Home Office on Monday.
"Our Christian heritage should inspire us to treat asylum seekers with compassion, fairness and justice, as we have for centuries," Welby and 24 other bishops wrote in Tuesday's Times newspaper."Evil trafficking" must be combatted by providing safe routes to the UK to "reduce dangerous journeys", The Times quoted the bishops as saying ahead of the letter's publication.
