Asylum: Rwanda

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the level of potential risk that people deported to Rwanda under the Migration and Economic Development partnership will be required to join that country’s armed forces.

Answer

Rwanda has been recognised globally for their record in welcoming and integrating migrants and asylum seekers, and our own comprehensive assessment found it to be generally a safe and secure country.

Any decision to relocate a person to Rwanda will be made on a case-by-case basis taking into account their individual circumstances and relevant country information.
