Sudanese trafficking victims must stay in detention, judge rules

Three men, who were tortured and had been at risk of being put on UK flight to Rwanda, say being locked up is worsening trauma

Three Sudanese victims of torture and trafficking who were threatened with being deported to Rwanda on a controversial charter flight last week have had their pleas to be released from detention rejected by a high court judge.

The three asylum seekers, who all arrived in the UK on small boats last month, were issued with notices of intent that the home secretary was considering deporting them to Rwanda.
