U.K. top court upholds a controversial plan to send migrants to Rwanda

A pilot gestures from the grounded EC-LZO Boeing 767 flight, initially meant to deport Rwandan asylum-seekers, at Boscombe Down Air Base in Boscombe Down, England, on June 14. The flight taking asylum-seekers from the U.K. to Rwanda was grounded at the last minute, after the intervention of the European Court of Human Rights.

The ruling comes months after the government introduced a plan to deport hundreds of potential asylum-seekers to Rwanda. Immigration lawyers and human rights groups have warned of rights violations.
