British media reported that a plane that was scheduled to deport 7 illegal migrants to Rwanda was prevented from taking off.

The European Court of Human Rights issued an injunction banning the deportation of migrants hours after the UK Supreme Court rejected an appeal against its decision to implement the deportation plan agreed with Rwanda.

After the order was issued, the flight that was scheduled to be carried out by a "Boeing" plane was canceled, which may delay the deportation process in general for weeks until the completion of the judicial review of the order, which is expected by the end of next July.

The British newspaper "The Telegraph" quoted a British government source as saying that "European judges have suspended the whole process despite the rulings of the UK Supreme Court, the High Court in London, and the Court of Appeal in favor of the government.

This is terrible." It is noteworthy that Britain was planning to deport about 130 illegal migrants and asylum seekers who entered the kingdom illegally, coming across the Channel from France to Rwanda under an agreement with this African country.
