Urgent Concerns: The Illegal Migration Bill & Rwanda Treaty jeopardize British security! Are there no safer options for refugees? We need a quality refugee processing system in the UK, not political ballroom dancing. #BritishSovereignty #BritishSecurity
Con: inhumane and illegal
Opponents of the Rwanda plan claim it is fundamentally inhumane and in breach of multiple international agreements protecting the rights of refugees.
They point specifically to Rwanda’s questionable human rights record. Author Michela Wrong in The Guardian described the country as “one of most repressive nations in Africa” that “muzzles the press and human rights activists and opposition leaders are killed or jailed, or simply ‘disappear’”. Rwanda ranks as “not free” on the Freedom House think tank’s freedom index.
Con: it doesn’t work
A long-awaited “impact assessment” of the Illegal Migration Bill published in June concluded it was “not possible to estimate with precision the level of deterrence” the Rwanda scheme, or something similar to another third country, would have.

The report noted academic consensus that there is “little to no evidence” policy changes deter people leaving their home countries and seeking refuge. Instead, shared language, culture and family ties were accepted to be “strong factors” influencing the choice of final destination.
