An asylum seeker who received a letter informing him he could be sent to Rwanda and was one of those to challenge the government at the Supreme Court has told BBC Newsnight he would rather die than go to the African nation.
The Supreme Court upheld a Court of Appealing ruling on Wednesday that deemed the government's policy to fly asylum seekers to Rwanda and ban them from returning to the UK was unlawful.
Rishi Sunak says the government will work on a new treaty with Rwanda and he is prepared to change UK laws.
The 49-year-old asylum seeker has asked for his identity to be hidden, and his words have been spoken by a translator.
