Veteran British politician: The Rwanda law is damaging Britain's reputation
Alfred Dubs, a Congolese politician who is a member of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, has said that the plan to transfer to Rwanda citizens seeking asylum from England is wrong and will not succeed.
Dubs has said that the Labor party will repeal the law if it wins the next election in England. And James Wilson, Director of a group called Detention Action, has called the new law for asylum seekers cruel and inhumane.
Alfred Dubs has mentioned the British government's controversial policy of transferring asylum seekers to Rwanda as violating human rights, the rule of law in the UK and the country's international obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights.
Dubs has explained this referring to Rwanda's Security Law, which calls the African country a safe place to send all those seeking asylum.
Dubs who was born in December 1932 in Prague among Czech children rescued from the Nazis in the Kindertransport in a program that helped other European Jewish children to escape and take refuge in England.
