The UK government’s plan to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda has been ruled unlawful by the Court of Appeal.
The five-year trial - announced in April 2022 - would see some asylum seekers in the UK sent to Rwanda on a one-way ticket, to claim asylum there.
In December, the High Court dismissed a series of legal challenges to the government's plan.
But several individual asylum seekers and the charity Asylum Aid took the case to the Court of Appeal, which has ruled that the policy is unlawful.
However, its decision could be challenged in the Supreme Court.
