Britain’s Parliament has finally passed the Rwanda bill which will send some asylum seekers to the African country, a move a leading Catholic agency says is “as inhumane as it is absurd".
The controversial bill was passed after months of back-and-forth between the House of Commons and House of Lords.
The Jesuit Refugee Service UK says it will continue to campaign for the UK to uphold its “responsibility towards refugees”.
JRS UK’s director, Sarah Teather, said the law will destroy lives, plunge vulnerable people into danger and sees the UK abandoning its duty towards people seeking sanctuary in the country.
