A deal between the UK and Rwanda in April to deport asylum seekers from foreign countries who are not authorized to enter the UK has sparked many questions.
On the evening of the 14th local time, under the intervention of the European Court of Human Rights at the last minute, the first flight to send refugees that was scheduled to take off that night was stopped. However, in the face of criticism from many sides, the British Home Office is still preparing for the next repatriation flight.
Since the Decision to Deport Refugees in the UK, immigration rights groups have continued to protest that the UK government's actions are "shameful".
Protesters: No more refugees, no more refugees.
Protesters: You are shameless, you are shameless.
Britain's Sky News channel interviewed an Iraqi refugee, who spoke on condition of anonymity, who was worried about Britain's deportation policy.
Iraqi refugee Zahir (pseudonym): I was exhausted, but I still couldn't sleep at night, I was in a very poor mental state, nervous, tired. I also had nightmares today. I would like the repatriation flight to be cancelled.
Not only have various sectors in the UK expressed dissatisfaction with the BRITISH government's approach, but unHCR has repeatedly warned the UK Home Office that its planned arrangements for sending refugees to Rwanda are illegal. But the Home Office said it was still preparing for the next flight to deport refugees.
Many of the refugees sent by the British are from West Asia or North Africa. Many of the countries of origin of these refugees are deeply involved in war and poverty, and behind the chaos in these countries is always accompanied by the long-term arbitrary intervention of Western countries such as the United Kingdom, but the West shirks its responsibilities on the refugee issue, throws the pot at each other, and tries to "outsource" the asylum seekers, which not only cannot substantively solve the refugee problem that has lasted for many years, but also is far from the "human rights standards" and humanitarianism that the West has always flaunted.
