SEAToday.com, Moscow-The UK Parliament officially approved a bill on Monday (4/22) that will provide the legal basis for the British government to deport illegal asylum seekers to Rwanda, East Africa.

UK Home Secretary James Cleverly announced in a video uploaded to his X account (@JamesCleverly) that the Rwanda Security Bill has been passed by Parliament and will become law within days.

This controversial bill was passed after the House of Lords, the upper house of the UK Parliament, withdrew its proposed amendments to the bill presented by the House of Commons, the lower house.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated that his party's current focus is to swiftly implement the legislation. He also affirmed that there is nothing preventing the UK government from carrying out these deportations.
