Khaled, who has been in the UK since 2022, has a history of displacement, imprisonment, and torture in Syria and Libya.

He discovered the possibility of being sent to Kigali for the first time in February 2023 and was detained with a view to removal last week.

Khaled expressed extreme stress and fear for his safety in Rwanda, stating that he cannot eat or sleep due to the impending deportation.

Two asylum-seekers, one from Iraq and another from Sudan, shared their experiences of being taken from a French detention center and handcuffed again before being transported to another facility.

The Iraqi man mentioned an infection in his leg that required antibiotics but he had not been able to see a doctor.

Another asylum-seeker from Sudan described his harrowing journey to the UK, traveling via the Mediterranean where his boat almost sank.

He was not fingerprinted in Italy and was told to wait in France for four years before his asylum claim could be considered, leading him to attempt the dangerous crossing to the UK in an overcrowded boat.

In early 2023, the UK government announced plans to deport asylum-seekers to Rwanda.

Two men, who had previously sought asylum in the UK, shared their fears with The Guardian about being sent to Rwanda, as they had escaped from dangerous African countries.

They were arrested and taken into detention, where they were initially told they were being deported to a "safe third country." However, upon reaching the detention center, they learned the destination was Rwanda.

The men expressed difficulty in contacting legal representatives within a seven-day deadline set by the Home Office to appeal the decision.

Care4Calais, a charity, reported that over 100 people were detained for potential deportation to Rwanda, with most coming from war zones.

The charity's head of legal access, Hannah Harwood, stated that those detained had not yet had their asylum claims processed and that many would likely be granted refugee status in the UK if their claims were considered.

The text is a response from the Home Office to criticism regarding the Rwanda plan, which involves sending asylum seekers to Rwanda for processing.

The Home Office maintains that the welfare of detainees is a priority and that safeguarding measures are in place to ensure their dignity and support.

They emphasize that detainees have access to communication tools like mobile phones, internet, and landlines to keep in contact with loved ones.

However, critics argue that the Rwanda plan is inhumane and should be stopped due to concerns over living conditions and potential human rights violations.
