Children could be deported to Rwanda as the Home Office has incorrectly classed more than 1,000 asylum seeking minors as adults, human rights groups have warned today.
Unaccompanied children arriving on small boats at the UK border are briefly interviewed before being funnelled through the Home Office system labelled as adults, said Maddie Harris, founder of Humans for Rights Network.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if a child ends up on that Rwanda flight,” Harris told openDemocracy, saying she receives daily distressed calls from children at the border who have been labelled as adults.
