Following last night’s Commons vote, the government’s assertion that Britain will proceed with deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda, citing it as “unequivocally safe,” has raised significant concerns. However, our investigation has uncovered a stark contradiction within the Home Office’s approach.
Despite the government’s assurances, we have obtained exclusive information revealing that the Home Office has protected individuals who have fled Rwanda.
Since the introduction of the bill, these individuals, whom we have spoken to directly, have been granted asylum, with the Home Office acknowledging their legitimate fears of persecution.

This revelation casts serious doubt on the government’s claims regarding the safety of Rwanda as a destination for deported asylum seekers. It suggests a glaring discrepancy between official rhetoric and the reality experienced by those directly affected by the policies in question.
One Rwandan activist we interviewed provided a chilling insight into the situation, stating that individuals in Rwanda are only considered safe if they remain silent.
This sentiment underscores the pervasive atmosphere of fear and repression that persists within the country despite the government’s assertions to the contrary.

The government’s stance on deportations to Rwanda has ignited widespread debate and condemnation, with critics highlighting the risks posed to individuals who may face persecution upon their return.
Our investigation revealed a discrepancy between the government’s rhetoric and its actions, which raises serious questions about the transparency and integrity of the asylum process.
As this story continues to unfold, it underscores the importance of rigorous scrutiny and accountability in matters of immigration and asylum policy.
The safety and well-being of vulnerable individuals must remain paramount, and decisions regarding their future must be based on accurate and impartial assessments of their conditions upon returning to their home countries.
