UK plan to send migrants to Rwanda criticized by human rights groups after Parliament backs new law

Britain's decision to send asylum-seekers to Rwanda has drawn criticism from humanitarian organizations. The UK government claims the move will deter illegal crossings.
"The new legislation marks a further step away from the U.K.’s long tradition of providing refuge to those in need, in breach of the Refugee Convention," U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said in a statement. "Protecting refugees requires all countries – not just those neighboring crisis zones – to uphold their obligations."
