Rwanda has 'issues with human rights', Home Office admits (inews.co.uk)

Home Secretary James Cleverly wrote to all MPs and peers on Thursday to highlight “evidence” designed to support the Government’s controversial claims that Rwanda is a “safe” country – a key element of Rishi Sunak’s legislation to save his flagship deportation deal, after it was ruled unlawful in November.

But buried among the cache of papers slipped out by the Home Office on Thursday, is an admission that “while Rwanda is now a relatively peaceful country with respect for the rule of law, there are nevertheless issues with its human rights record around political opposition to the current regime, dissent and free speech”.

Didn't they want to ban any criticism of Rwanda's human rights record?
