Article summary

Medical Justice has published a report detailing the impact that the government’s Rwanda scheme is having on the asylum seekers who are being removed. The report is highly critical of the scheme, the processes used in UK immigration centres before potential removal and the impact these processes have on people’s health and wellbeing. According to the report, ‘extremely vulnerable people’ are chosen for removal to Rwanda and the process for removal is unclear and ‘plagued by procedural deficiencies’.
