Suella Braverman will meet President Paul Kagame and interior minister Vincent Biruta to discuss the stalled migrant policy during a days-long visit to the central African country.The Home Office said last July that Rwanda has initial capacity for 200 people, with plans to increase that once flights begin.Braverman said that figure is a "completely false narrative peddled by critics who want to scrap the deal".
Braverman was criticised for reportedly not inviting journalists from the BBC, the Guardian, the Independent or the Mirror on her excursion.Braverman is shown inside a flat which could become migrant housing if the Rwanda policy gets through the courts.Index on Censorship editor Martin Bright said: "[We believe] that access to government ministers, both domestically and as part of international visits, should not be treated as a reward for favourable coverage.
Braverman speaks with Rwandan Minister for Information, Communication and Technology Claudette Irere.Labour's shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper urged Braverman to "come clean" about how realistic the Rwanda plan is.
