Cancel the planned government policy to send refugees to Rwanda
Rejected
9 signatures
What the petition asks
We want the government to cancel the planned policy to send people seeking refuge in the UK to Rwanda. Similar schemes in countries such as Australia show the plan will waste money, cause undue harm to those seeking refuge, and will not reduce those taking risky routes to the UK.
