Rwandan refugees being given asylum in the UK

 

Home Secretary - Priti Patel

How low can the Home Secretary, Priti Patel, stoop? She's the daughter of Asian/Uganda immigrant refugees who wants to send asylum seekers on a one way trip to Rwanda. 

According to the Government, Rwanda is a "safe and prosperous" nation, but so far, this year, Britain has granted asylum status to at least seven refugees from Rwanda. The Home Secretary, says that 76% of people crossing the Channel are bogus asylum seekers and economic refugees. But Home Office figures tell a different story. In the year ending this June, 75% of those claiming asylum were successful and half of those who appealed against refusal, were also successful, pushing the total success rate to almost 90%. 

Nevertheless, not all claims for political asylum in Britain are successful even when people are in danger of their lives. A former Afghan judge who had jailed dozens of Taliban fighters went into hiding with her son because she feared for her life. Many of the Taliban fighters she jailed have now been freed and some are in the Taliban government. Although the judge has family in Britain, her claim for asylum was rejected by the Home Office.
