Authorities in Rwanda have welcomed the British courts giving the green light to the deportation of migrants, who have arrived illegally in the United Kingdom, to the central African country. The Rwandan government spokesman Alain Mukuralinda called the ruling a “positive step” towards solving the global migration crisis.
Judges in London ruled that the UK government’s controversial plan was lawful, after a legal challenge by migrants and campaigners.
In July trade unions in the UK held demonstrations in a Stop Rwanda campaign, to protest the move.
