Report: UK Sends First Asylum Seeker To Rwanda

British media reported on Tuesday that the UK has initiated its controversial voluntary scheme by sending the first asylum seeker to Rwanda. This move comes following the adoption of a highly criticized law allowing irregular migrants to be deported to Rwanda, which was approved by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's government.

The individual, who departed the UK on Monday, had consented to be relocated to Kigali after his asylum application was rejected at the end of the previous year, according to several media sources. He reportedly left on a commercial flight.

In exchange for his agreement to leave Britain, the individual is set to receive compensation of up to £3,000 ($3,750), as stated by government sources cited by the Times newspaper. However, the British Home Office did not confirm these reports when contacted by AFP.

A government spokesperson mentioned that the UK's migration and economic development partnership with Rwanda now permits the deportation of asylum seekers to a safe third country, where they will receive support to rebuild their lives.

The British government aims to deport around 5,700 migrants to Rwanda this year under this scheme, aiming to deter migrant arrivals via small boats from Northern Europe. This move is part of broader efforts to manage immigration and address concerns over irregular migration.

However, this approach has faced criticism from various quarters, with concerns raised about the humanitarian implications and the effectiveness of such policies in addressing underlying migration challenges. Despite the government's assertions, the decision to deport migrants to Rwanda remains contentious, with ongoing debates surrounding its ethical and legal implications.
