Last-ditch bid to halt Rwanda deportations thrown out of court
Protesters outside the High Court in London for the ruling on Rwanda deportation flights.
THE Court of Appeal has thrown out a legal bid to stop asylum-seekers from being deported to Rwanda.
Judge Rabinder Singh said that the court could not overturn a decision made by the High Court on Friday, which ruled that the flight should take place.
Campaigners described the rejection of the appeal — launched by charities Care4Calais, as well as Detention Action, Border Force staff union PCS and four asylum-seekers — as “disturbing.”
