Asylum-seekers granted permission to appeal against government's Rwanda deportation plan
Protesters outside the High Court in London for the ruling on Rwanda deportation flights
A GROUP of asylum-seekers have been granted permission to appeal against a High Court ruling that found the government’s Rwanda migration pact to be lawful.
In December, Mr Justice Swift and Lord Justice Lewis ruled that the overall policy is legal, but quashed the deportations of eight individual asylum-seekers, ruling that the Home Office had failed to “properly consider” their cases.
On Monday, the judges allowed a bid by several asylum-seekers and charity Asylum Aid to challenge aspects of their ruling in the Court of Appeal.
