On June 10, the United Nations refugee agency criticized Rwanda's asylum system as inadequate, raising concerns in a London High Court case over the UK's policy to deport asylum seekers to the East African country. The UN agency claims to have new evidence from 2024 indicating that Rwanda has endangered asylum seekers, despite UK Parliament passing a law declaring the country safe. Rwanda has vehemently denied these allegations, accusing the UN agency of lying and asserting that asylum seekers could be moved to states where they risk torture or death. The dispute continued on June 12.
