The Law Society of England and Wales has vowed to prevent the UK government's plans to send asylum seekers who crossed the Channel into Britain to Rwanda as it"raises questions about the foundations of British justice".

Some of the affected Senegambians have already contacted the Point expressing not only"worries and uncertainties" but also"suspicions" doubting that they may be transferred to Kigali in the next few weeks. The Law Society insisted that"forcing them to make their claim for sanctuary in that country instead of in the UK, raises serious concerns for the rule of law and access to justice".

In a recent message of"appreciation" to the Point, Lubna also revealed to this correspondent that a"judicial review" will be conducted.
