On Tuesday evening, a specially chartered plane for hundreds of thousands of euros was ready to take off from an English military base, when the European Court of Human Rights, the Council of Europe’s jurisdiction that ensures compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights, voiced its opposition, causing a setback for the government.

“You have to look at the reasons” for this decision, Mr. said.I Patel for the newspaper telegraph Saturday. “How and why did they make this decision? Was it politically motivated? I think so, sure.”

“The vague way in which this court has operated is absolutely outrageous,” she said. He added, “We do not know who the judges are, and we do not know the authority [de juges]She added.

The court based in Strasbourg (eastern France) considered that the British judiciary should examine in detail the legality of the device, scheduled for July, before deporting the migrants.

The ban on the plane that was to transport asylum seekers to Rwanda, intervened in the context of a controversial policy and criticized by human rights associations, after multiple individual legal challenges proved that it was the right of the migrants.

By wanting to offload its responsibility to take in asylum seekers and send them more than 6,000 kilometers from London, the British government claims it is curbing illegal crossings of the canal, which has been steadily increasing despite repeated promises to control immigration since Brexit.

More than 11,000 people have made this perilous crossing since the beginning of the year.

Despite the decision of the European Court of Human Rights, the government has expressed determination to pursue its strategy.

The Home Office also launched a 12-month pilot project on Wednesday to monitor migrants arriving in the UK electronically via “non-essential and dangerous” routes. They will have to report regularly to the authorities, and may be subject to a curfew and detained or prosecuted if they do not.

According to the BBC on Saturday, the first migrants to be spotted in this way may be asylum seekers who should have been on the aborted flight to Rwanda.
