Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, a prominent Rwandan opposition leader, condemns the UK's "shocking" asylum transfer deal with Rwanda, emphasizing the country's human rights issues. Umuhoza, who faced imprisonment for challenging the Rwandan government, calls for a shift in UK efforts towards supporting human rights improvements in Rwanda rather than implementing a flawed immigration treaty. The UK, a key development partner to Rwanda, is urged to use its global influence to foster dialogue, political inclusion, and respect for human rights. Umuhoza contends that addressing root issues is crucial before considering any transfer of asylum seekers.
