Stop deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The recent announcement of Priti Patel's plan to send asylum seekers that arrive in the UK to Rwanda is abhorrent and inhumane. We should not be sending extremely vulnerable people, at great cost to the taxpayer, to a country that the UK raised human rights concerns about just last year.
