He has already escaped one war-torn nation
A father who fled war in Syria has spoken of his fears he may be deported to Rwanda as he awaits court rulings. The unnamed refugee, who is living in a Nottingham hotel, is one of many asylum seekers facing an agonising wait over their futures.
Analysts say a million people have been displaced by fighting with M23 rebels, who Rwanda denies backing. And both nations accuse each other of firing rockets across the border. “It reminds me of what the Syrian regime does to prisoners,” he said. “They tell them they will execute them on a certain date and when the date comes, they don’t do it. They leave them thinking, ‘What’s going to happen next?’”
But an official report estimates the cost at £169,000 per migrant. Meanwhile, a refugee from Sudan has been told he must go back there – even though there is a civil war. Abdul, who was tortured in 2019 by paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces and fled to the UK in 2020, got a Home Office letter saying there was “not a real risk” to his safety.
