5 people died crossing the English Channel, a few hours after the Sunak bill was approved

At least 5 people have died while crossing the waterway of the English Channel, a few hours after the United Kingdom approved a bill to expel immigrants from the country and send them to Rwanda.

The newspaper Voix du Nord has reported that the bodies were discovered on the beach of Wimereaux in the north of France on Tuesday. Rescue operations are ongoing and helicopters and boats have been dispatched to the area.

About 100 migrants have been rescued and put aboard a French navy ship. The immigrants were scheduled to be taken to the port of Boulogne.

This comes a few hours after the plan of the British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, to send some of the immigrants in the country to Rwanda, was approved by Parliament. Human rights organizations have condemned the move and said it violates human rights. 

The European Commission for the Defense of Human Rights has called on the United Kingdom to abandon the controversial plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda.

According to the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe, Michael O'Flaherty, the plan of the government of Kigali and the United Kingdom, raises many questions about the rights of asylum seekers and the law in general.

The Supreme Court of England said last year that the London government's plan to send refugees and asylum seekers to Rwanda violates the law. It said that the program puts the refugees in a dangerous situation, especially considering that some of them fled their country Rwanda, and returning them there will put them in danger.
