The controversial UK bill to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda has received approval from the upper house of parliament after numerous amendments. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has promised the first flights to Kigali within weeks, despite ongoing legal challenges and criticism from UN human rights experts. The scheme, which aims to deter asylum seekers from crossing the English Channel in small boats, has raised concerns about Rwanda’s human rights record and the potential risk to asylum seekers. Despite criticism, the bill is expected to become law with Royal Assent from King Charles later this week.
