Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Despite the intervention of influential groups including respected and well-known charities, human rights groups as well as various prominent religious leaders, the court ruled that \u201cthe first flight could go ahead\u201d without interruption.<\/p>\n

Justice Swift, in his landmark judgement also noted that there was \u201cmaterial public interest in Priti Patel, the Home Secretary being able to carry out her policies\u2026I did not consider there was any evidence asylum seekers would be ill-treated\u201d.<\/p>\n

Further rejecting claims by the lawyers of the asylum seekers, Justice Swift maintained that part of the case to block the initial flights focused on the argument that the Home Secretary\u2019s \u201cdecision to treat Rwanda as a safe country is either irrational or based on insufficient investigation\u201d.<\/p>\n

Following the contentious judgement on Friday, this correspondent quickly dispatched letters to various legal representatives of the refugees inquiring whether the first flight involved any Senegambians.<\/p>\n

Care4Calais, one of the most prominent UK Registered Charities representing the asylum seekers and delivering emergency aid to the refugees in Calais and other areas responded to our request but couldn\u2019t immediately verify whether or not any Gambian or Senegalese nationals were involved.<\/p>\n

However, an urgent investigation is underway. Nonetheless, Care4Calais officials responding also revealed: \u201c\u2026Our press team has confirmed that they know one person from Chad\u201d.<\/p>\n

Separately, The Point has learned that \u201can injunction is likely considering the \u201cseriousness of the case\u2026and those involved in the matter\u2026including political repression in Rwanda\u201d.<\/p>\n

On his part, Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has hailed the judgement as \u201cwelcome news\u201d. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev\u2019d Justin Welby, maintained that it is \u201cungodly\u201d.<\/p>\n

The UN refugee Agency said it is \u201cagainst the law\u201d. Nonetheless, it is now verified that lawyers have filed an urgent appeal to fight the matter at the Court of Appeal on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Point<\/b><\/p>\n

will update itss readers regarding whatever the outcome of the case, including the wellbeing of any Senegambian involved.<\/p>\n
