UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is facing criticism from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) over his stance on the Rwanda deportation plan. The president of the ECHR has warned Sunak against ignoring any future Rule 39 injunctions, which are measures that temporarily prohibit deportations. Sunak has rejected demands that Britain comply with such interventions, insisting that he will not let a 'foreign court' block his policy. This has led to a fresh row with the ECHR, with the court's president likening Sunak to Putin for his intention to ignore these rulings. The court has emphasized that the UK has a legal obligation to adhere to human rights law, and the president of the ECHR has stated that ignoring Rule 39 orders would breach these legal obligations. Additionally, Sunak's approach has resulted in the dismissal of Suella Braverman, who had told him that the ECHR is the problem.
