Petition Repeal the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Act
I want the UK Government to repeal the Rwanda Act as I think it's wrong to send refugees to Rwanda. The supreme Court has ruled that Rwanda is also an unsafe country as there's a risk of refoulement.
More details
The supreme Court have said that Rwanda is not a safe country due to risk of refoulement meaning that the refugees may be sent back to the country they flee. I think that this deems the country unsafe and doesn't protect the rights of those fleeing their home countries. The UK Government has a responsibility to protect refugees.
