For two years since this government’s cruel Rwanda plan was first announced, we have repeatedly warned that it is a country where LGBTQI+ people are subjected to discrimination, violence, and abuse.
We have now received reports that the Home Office are calling people to offer ‘voluntary departure’ to Rwanda. If you have received one of those calls or if you receive one in the future, please be aware that you DO NOT have to say yes.
If you are LGBTQI+ and receive a call, please contact us immediately as well by filling in this form with us much detail as possible. We will respond as soon as possible.
If you get a call we recommend to:
- NOT respond until you have legal advice
- Ask the Home Office to send the offer to you in writing
- Find legal representation
If you are LGBTQI+ and receive a call, please contact us immediately as well by filling in this form with us much detail as possible. We will respond as soon as possible.
