The UK’s controversial Rwanda deportation plan, explained
There are already legal challenges to the new policy, but authorities detained some migrants this week.

It is amazing exercise in two-faced dealing that these people can declare Rwanda safe at the exact same time they're using Rwanda as a threat. It's totally safe to go too also you better not come here or else we'll send you there. It's just fascinating.
FWIW, the UK government claims crime is low in Rwanda.

Don't be lgbt though:
LGBT+ travellers
Same-sex sexual activity is not illegal in Rwanda, but is frowned on by locals. LGBT+ travellers can experience discrimination and abuse, including from local authorities.
There are no specific anti-discrimination laws that protect LGBT+ individuals in Rwanda. Read more advice for LGBT+ travellers.
And guess why some of those asylum seekers are fleeing their homelands...
We have "Visit Rwanda" advertised at premier league matches so guessing it's pretty safe. Not saying the plan isn't abhorrent or anything
They wouldn't have to advertise it so much if it was known to be safe.
