FEMALE refugees from Africa condemned Home Secretary Priti Patel’s Rwanda deal as modern-day slavery today during a protest against the Nationality & Borders Bill.

Members of the All African Women’s Group (AAWG) of asylum-seekers warned that the lives of people sent to the East African country under the scheme would be at risk. 

“It takes brutes like Boris Johnson and Priti Patel to propose sending asylum-seekers to Rwanda to suffer and die away from any public scrutiny,” said AAWG member Celine Gana, a mother and rape survivor from Uganda.
