The interior minister revealed that some passengers on the canceled Rwanda flight would be released to the community wearing labels, as she promised to continue pursuing the policy of outsourcing refugees to the East African state. It comes as government members said they hoped to try to send asylum seekers back to Rwanda within weeks. Up to seven people who had come to the UK seeking refuge were expected to be transported to Rwanda an hour and a half before the flight took off. However, a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in one of the seven cases allowed the lawyers of the other six to make successful last-minute applications. There is no right to appeal the interim injunction. It suspended the deportation of an Iraqi asylum seeker to Rwanda for up to three weeks after a UK court ruled in favor of it, possibly delaying any flights until August. Sources close to the government criticized the lack of transparency surrounding the ECtHR ruling, saying on Wednesday that the Interior Ministry was still trying to determine the name of the judge who issued the ruling. Government attorneys want to determine the criteria by which the ECHR makes decisions on precautionary measures and the criteria for their rejection. Appearing before the Communities, the Home Secretary said she was surprised by the ECHR’s intervention, which overturned domestic court rulings, but told lawmakers that legal challenges were inevitable. “What a shame”: Yvette Cooper criticizes Patel for Rwanda plan – video “This government will not be discouraged from doing the right thing. We will not be disappointed by the inevitable last minute legal challenges. “We will not allow the mobs to block the movements either,” he said. He said the court had not ruled that the policy was illegal, but “forbade the removal of three of them on yesterday’s flight”. “These bans last for different periods of time, but they are not an absolute obstacle to their transfer to Rwanda. “Anyone who has been ordered to be released by the courts will be identified as we continue to relocate,” he said. Patel and Boris Johnson have repeatedly criticized lawyers for taking legal action against the government and the groups and lawmakers who support them. Before the Communities, Patel said: “I am afraid that the ordinary suspects, with the blessings of the honorable and righteous honorable members, have set out to thwart and even campaign against these efforts, and, with that, the will of the British people. ” Yvette Cooper, the shadowy interior minister, said the situation was “relaxed and shameful and the interior minister has no one but herself to blame”. “This was not and never was a serious policy and he knew it when he chartered the plane.” The Strasbourg court’s decision was met with outrage by Tory MPs, with new demands for the United Kingdom to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights. The ECHR decides on issues related to the convention and is not an EU institution, so its influence has not been affected by Brexit. Greg Smith, Buckingham Conservative MP, called on the government to present the promised UK Bill of Rights and “remove any power of the European Court of Human Rights over our sovereign decisions”. Jonathan Gullis, Assistant Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Brandon Lewis, said “ECHR’s role in UK law needs to be addressed urgently” – but reportedly deleted an initial post on social media suggesting that his role court must be removed completely. Starmer’s spokesman declined to confirm that the Labor Party would cancel the policy in principle if it entered government, saying only that it would define a more complete immigration policy in the party’s manifesto.

Starmer had previously described it as immoral. Johnson’s spokesman made it clear that the government did not rule out the possibility of withdrawing from the contract, in light of Tuesday’s decision. “We will do whatever it takes to implement this new approach, including preparing to explore any further legal reforms,” he said. Asked repeatedly if this could include withdrawing from the contract, he said: “We keep all the options on the table. We will examine all the legislation and the procedures in the round “.
