The U.K. Supreme Court is set to weigh whether the British government’s contentious policy to send asylum-seekers to Rwanda is lawful
The British government's contentious policy to stem the flow of migrants faces one of its toughest challenges this week as the U.K. Supreme Court weighs whether it’s lawful to send asylum-seekers to Rwanda. The Conservative government is challenging a Court of Appeal ruling in June that said the policy intended to deter immigrants from risking their lives crossing the English Channel in small boats is unlawful because the East African country is not a safe place to send them.
They have also cited Rwanda’s poor human rights record, including allegations of torture and killings of government opponents. A High Court judge initially upheld the policy, saying it didn't breach Britain’s obligations under the U.N. Refugee Convention or other international agreements. But that ruling was reversed by a 2-1 decision in the Court of Appeal that found that while it was not unlawful to send asylum-seekers to a safe third country, Rwanda could not be deemed safe.

Muslims in Kenya protest at Supreme Court over its endorsement of LGBTQ right to associateHundreds of Muslims in Kenya’s capital have rallied outside the Supreme Court to protest its decision last month to reaffirm the LGBTQ community’s right of association. The protesters say the verdict has condoned immorality. They are demanding the resignation of three of the five judges who supported the panel’s majority decision. The court last month reaffirmed an earlier ruling that the Non-Governmental Organization Board in Kenya had discriminated against LGBTQ people when it refused to register their association. The two dissenting judges opposed the ruling on grounds that Kenya’s laws outlaw same-sex relationships.
