PNN – The British government announced that the immigration department of this country has started the operation of arresting and deporting illegal immigrants living in this country to Rwanda.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, quoted by NHK news channel, After the “Safety of Rwanda” bill was approved by the British lawmakers last month, the immigration authorities of this country have started arresting and detaining illegal immigrants living in the UK to prepare for their deportation to the African country of Rwanda.
The British government has repeatedly spoken about the heavy cost of measures to deal with immigrants who enter the country illegally to request asylum and has declared that this cost has become an unbearable financial burden.

According to the NHK news channel, refugee support groups have condemned the deportation plan and consider it a violation of human rights.
The critics of this plan have also reacted to the film of the raid of the immigration officers on the houses of illegal immigrants published in the English media and have declared that this film has exposed the inhuman nature of this plan even more.
It seems that preventing illegal immigrants from entering the UK has become one of the main policies of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s government.
According to NHK news channel, it is possible that the British government will launch the first flights to deport illegal immigrants to Rwanda by July.
The British Immigration Office has also announced that it plans to carry out more raids to arrest and detain illegal immigrants in the next few weeks and to send these immigrants to Rwanda in the next 9 to 11 weeks.
Sunak’s government has announced that according to Rwandan law, asylum seekers who have illegally entered the UK from a safe country such as France from January 1, 2022, may be transferred to Rwanda to have their case reviewed by the British Home Office.
According to this law, those who enter the UK illegally will be deported within 28 days. They have no right to protest and will be banned from returning to this country in the future. These people outside the UK will wait for their case to be processed away from the pressure of the British media.
If their case is accepted, they will be transferred to England; Otherwise, they can apply for asylum to stay in Rwanda or any other country other than England.
The British government believes that this plan will deter asylum seekers from entering the country illegally.
