Britain’s Controversial Asylum Plan

From Afghanistan and Syria, to Yemen and Ukraine. Just four places millions have been forced to flee as they fight for survival.

But a controversial new plan could see them handed a one way ticket to Rwanda, six and a half thousand kilometers away. The scheme proposed by the British government has faced significant criticism, with many including a former Conservative Prime Minister questioning whether it’s even legal.
