Queen of England’s son finds British Prime Minister’s decision ‘appalling’
Britain’s Prince Charles has personally criticized the mechanism set up by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda until their cases are resolved.
He has said he is more than disappointed by this policy. He has said he regrets the position of the entire government. It is clear that he is not impressed by the direction the government has taken,” said the source, cited by The Times and The Daily Mail.
An official spokesperson for Charles has declined to comment on “any alleged anonymous private conversation by the Prince of Wales, except to reaffirm that he is politically neutral”, but has not denied the published version.
The government announced the new deportation policy in April and, subject to court approval, the first flight could depart next Tuesday. The executive has defended these deportations to discourage the travel of immigrants through the English Channel and has emphasized that “it is in full compliance with all national and international law.”
The agreement with Rwanda allows British authorities to send asylum seekers crossing the Channel to the African country. The deal is endowed with £120 million -144 million euros- and will primarily target men with no family members who arrive in the UK via boats or lorries.
Last year, in an intervention before the United Nations, the British government expressed concern about the “continued restrictions on civil and political rights and freedom of the press” in Rwanda. Yet Johnson called Rwanda one of the safest countries in the world.
