Come here and we’ll send you to Rwanda.

That’s the message coming out of the United Kingdom for asylum seekers and migrants trying to reach it illegally .

Most of those supposed to be deported were able to avoid the first flight to Kigali through individual legal challenges.

A request to halt the flight was rejected by the UK’s Court of Appeal.

Catherine Woollard, Secretary General of European Council on Refugees and Exiles.
