Judge rules Rwanda flight can go ahead
Campaigners express ‘deep disappointment’ after application for injunction to halt next week's charter flight to African nation rejected by High Court
Home Secretary Priti Patel
THE High Court has refused to grant an injunction to halt next week’s deportation flight to Rwanda, to the dismay of asylum seekers and campaigners.
The injunction would have granted interim relief preventing the government from removing people to Rwanda until legal challenges against the policy have been heard by British courts.
Care4Calais, one of the groups which launched the application, said it was “deeply disappointed” and have appealed the decision.
