Rwandan asylum seekers have spoken of the fear of persecution they face from their own country as an 'i' investigation reveals the UK has granted six people the right to stay since signing the controversial migrant deal.

It is perverse to pass a law which says Rwanda is a safe country when it clearly isn't and the government knows that.

But at least it's going to be fun watching ministers tie themselves up in knots as they try to explain to judges how Rwanda is safe country while not being a safe country.

If they were doing this according to the laws they now want the protection
of they wouldn't be getting this far. They'd have to be coming from
Iceland to have the UK be the first safe country they made it to.

I'm sure France has the ability to detect and intercept the boats if they
wanted to. Why don't they want to? What are they expecting to come of
keeping the migrants in France?

This 'first safe country' myth isn't international law.

And, if it was, it would make a nonsense of our claimed right to be able to deport to Rwanda.

Why would France want to stop migrants they don't want to host from leaving ?

It would be illegal under international law to prevent migrants leaving, utterly stupid of France to say any migrant who makes it to France has to forever remain in France.

If France allows migrant transit to Belgium, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, and Switzerland, she also has to also allow transit to the UK.
