Human rights campaigners say they will 'see the government in court' after the Home Office published its highly anticipated safety assessment on Rwanda
Bella Sankey, director of Detention Action, said:"People are already being harmed, living in fear of receiving these letters, including asylum-seeking families with children. We'll continue this fight to protect people's rights in court."
But it admits:"Rwanda is a largely Christian conservative society and the topic of same-sex sexual relationships is considered taboo."Priti Patel and Rwanda's foreign affairs minister signed a 'world-first' migration and economic partnership in April The assessment says there"are not substantial grounds" for believing that a woman or girl, if relocated, would face a real risk of being subjected to treatment that is likely to be contrary to the European Convention on Human Rights.
The assessment says any person relocated from the UK would not be required to live in a refugee camp and will not have the right to work while their claim is pending.
