The Government is considering a proposal to offer up to £3,000 to failed asylum-seekers to relocate voluntarily to Rwanda. This plan, aimed at reducing the backlog of asylum applications, is separate from the controversial 'Rwanda bill,' which seeks to deport most asylum-seekers to Rwanda. The new scheme builds on existing policies offering financial assistance for voluntary returns to home countries. In the past year, 19,000 people have voluntarily left the UK under such schemes. The new proposal allows recipients of the financial package to live in Rwanda, a country the Government deems safe despite concerns about political oppression. Under this plan rejected asylum-seekers who currently cannot work legally in the UK would be allowed to work in Rwanda and receive five years of additional support. The government’s Rwanda bill has already been ruled unlawful by the Supreme Court for violating human rights laws. Rishi Sunak is now pushing legislation to designate Rwanda as a safe country for asylum-seekers, hoping to circumvent legal opposition.
