The United Kingdom’s government is considering plans to pay asylum seekers whose applications have failed, up to 3,000 British pounds to move to Rwanda.
The proposed scheme, part of a deal struck with Rwanda, was drawn up by ministers to clear a backlog of tens of thousands of asylum seekers who have been refused the right to stay but cannot be returned to countries deemed unsafe.
Under the new extension, people will receive the money if they agree to live in Rwanda, which the UK government considers to be a safe third country despite reports from rights groups on political oppression.
