Stop the government from sending migrants to Rwanda #StoptheShip

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The Prime Minister has unveiled plans to send ‘illegal migrants’ who reach Britain to Rwanda.

We need to stop the government from doing this immediately. Parliament must pass a bill forbidding this!
‘PM has announced the plans in a speech today. It has long been the government’s ambition to ‘offshore’ migrants. Other countries previously refused, but UK has made a deal with Rwanda.’

We need parliament to restrain the government from this heinous, inhumane and frightening new process which would endanger many and have far reaching consequences for decades to come.
