  • Protest Against UK Deportation Flights To Rwanda<br>LONDON, ENGLAND - JUNE 12: Protesters chant and hold placards against the UK deportation flights to Rwanda near Brook House Immigration Removal Centre on June 12, 2022 in London, England. Under a new policy, the UK government will fly some asylum seekers who have arrived in the country illegally, to Rwanda to apply for asylum there. The British Home Office hopes the plan, under which the first removal flight is scheduled for Tuesday, will deter asylum seekers from crossing the English Channel. Organisations protesting the policy have failed in their initial bid to have the High Court block the flights, but the case will be heard by the Court of Appeal on Monday.
