UK accused of double standards regarding Rwanda bill

GABORONE, Botswana — Botswanan experts have accused Britain of double standards regarding the deportation of asylum seekers to Africa.

Late last month, the British parliament passed a controversial bill that paved the way for the country to send asylum seekers to Rwanda.

Thapelo Bulawa, a senior law lecturer at the University of Botswana, said British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had pushed for the bill to be passed over the past two years despite strong opposition.
