Her controversial efforts have also come under fire with the recent departure of Britain's controversial former home secretary, Suella Braverman. Dealing a major blow to the governing Conservative Party, Britain’s highest court said the African country is not a safe place for refugees. Britain's Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that the policy of deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda was unlawful, dealing a blow to the Conservative government, which has long described the plan as necessary for the commitment to stop incoming small boats. Justice Robert Reed, one of the five judges who heard the case, said that the court supported an earlier decision by the Court of Appeal declaring the policy unlawful, saying simply, “We agree with their conclusion.” Justice Reed pointed to a risk of “refoulement” if asylum seekers had their claims heard in Rwanda, meaning that genuine refugees could be returned to their countries of origin and face potential violence, in a violation of both domestic and international law. Barrister Shuvagata Dey, managing partner of Lexpert Solicitors LLP in London, said this judgment is a contemporary example of Britain's independent and humane justice system. Rishi Sunak says the government is working on a new treaty with Rwanda, after the government's asylum seeker plan was ruled unlawful. Sunak also says he is "prepared to change our laws" if necessary. He was speaking after the Supreme Court rule against the plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, saying it's unlawful.
