Change Government's plan to send people seeking asylum to Rwanda
Rejected
10 signatures
What the petition asks
The Parliament must debate and find a way to provide real alternatives for people to seek and receive asylum in the UK. If it is serious about tackling smugglers and traffickers it needs to target them, not their victims.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that thousands of asylum seekers and refugees attempting to enter the UK will be sent to Rwanda. The plans to ‘offshore’ those seeking safety and security must be debated and scrutinised at the House of Common by the elected representative. The Government must deviate from the inhumane and unworkable plan without waste of public money.
