Beers & Burgers: Harvey's To Go | SaltWire #harveys #burger #beer #foodbloggerLONDON - The British parliament is set to finally approve a divisive law this week to pave the way for asylum seekers to be deported to Rwanda, but further legal hurdles could yet hold up or derail one of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's key policies.
"We think the government knows it hasn’t got a cat in hells chance of surviving a legal challenge, but they just want to keep it alive as an issue to fight in the general election." Sunak's new law, which disapplies some existing human rights statutes, is designed to override the Supreme Court's ruling by stating Rwanda must be treated by British judges as a safe destination, as well as also limiting individuals' options for an appeal to only exceptional cases.
Charities and human rights groups say they are gearing up to bring challenges on behalf of individuals, although as yet none have been specifically told they would be sent to Rwanda. The court has amended its rules since the 2022 decision so injunctions will only be issued in"exceptional circumstances" where there was an"imminent risk of irreparable harm".
He has already warned he would not allow"foreign courts" to block his plans and was prepared for Britain to leave the ECHR if necessary.
