But the High Court also criticized Home Secretary Suella Braverman for not properly assessing individuals' circumstances before transporting them.

[Braverman] must decide if there is anything about each person’s particular circumstances which means that his asylum claim should be determined in the United Kingdom or whether there are other reasons why he should not be relocated to Rwanda, Lord Justice Lewis, via statement.

[She] has not properly considered the circumstances of the eight individual claimants whose cases we have considered, Lord Justice Lewis, via statement.

Braverman must now reassess those eight cases.

Treating people who are in search of safety like human cargo and shipping them off to another country is a cruel policy that will cause great human suffering.

The scheme is wrong in principle and unworkable in practice.

, Enver Solomon, chief executive of the Refugee Council, via statement.

The U.K. intends to pay the East African country $145 million over the next five years to host asylum seekers.

Alabama Governor Signs IVF Protection Bill [Video]

Alabama Governor Signs IVF Protection Bill

Alabama Governor Signs, IVF Protection Bill . On March 6, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed legislation aimed at protecting in vitro fertilization patients and providers from legal liability. CNN reports that some clinics are ready to lift a hold on certain IVF services as early as this week. . The Alabama bill comes after an unprecedented state Supreme Court ruling cast the future of IVF care into doubt. The Supreme Court case reportedly stemmed from the accidental destruction of frozen embryos at a fertility clinic. The state Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are human beings, meaning that those who destroy them could be held liable for wrongful death. The latest bill signed into law by the governor aims to provide both civil and criminal immunity to providers and patients in the case of embryos being damaged or destroyed. However, the fertility clinics say that the new law doesn't address the core issue and fails to provide the legal protection necessary to resume care. The law does not nullify the Supreme Court’s analysis that says the law ought to treat embryos just like people, Katherine Kraschel, assistant professor at Northeastern University School of Law, via CNN. CNN reports that experts have warned that the latest bill could also insulate providers from standard medical malpractice claims. The governor stressed that the new law is meant to be a "short-term measure" and reassured that "there will be more work to come" on ensuring IVF protections.

Rishi Sunak's controversial Rwanda Migrant Bill passed after UK Parliament Marathon | Oneindia

On Monday, the United Kingdom Parliament passed the contentious Rwanda deportation bill, marking a significant step toward its enactment into law. Despite months of opposition from various quarters including Parliament, courts, and civil society, the bill received approval. The primary point of contention had been the concern for the human rights of asylum seekers. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his Conservative party have been vigorously advocating for this legislation. The bill aims to designate Rwanda as a safe third country, compelling judges to consider it as such. Additionally, it seeks to grant decision-makers handling asylum applications the authority to bypass certain provisions of international and domestic human rights laws. This move comes in response to a UK Supreme Court ruling that deems the deportation of migrants to Kigali as illegal. #RwandaMigrantBill #UKParliamentMarathon #RishiSunak #ControversialBill #StopTheBoats #UKImmigration #AsylumSeekers #HumanRights #UKGovernment #Legislation ~PR.152~ED.155~GR.125~HT.96~
