Dozens of Rwanda detainees now released by courts

The Liberal Democrats and SNP also say that the scheme should be scrapped because it breaks international law.

The impending general election is not a formal legal test for release from detention – but judges assess in each case whether a flight is reasonably foreseeable.

In a statement on social media platform X, Duncan Lewis Solicitors said: “We represent 50 of those detainees and can confirm that they all now have bail.

“Many clients are survivors of torture and trafficking. The tribunal, in granting bail, rightly assessed them to not carry a risk of absconding, reaching the rational view that removal was not imminent.”

The solicitors said that the detrimental impact “unnecessary and prolonged” detention has had on its clients is “yet to be fully assessed.”

“The extent to which taxpayers’ money has been wasted by detaining people in this way, around the time of the local elections for what appears to be for political gain, when removal was not imminent, needs to be calculated”, the company added.
