EUROCRATS are refusing to reveal the name of the judge who blocked the Rwanda flight.

The hearing, which UK officials did not attend, was held in a private room at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France.

They said British officials could only provide written evidence for their case, but not respond to any new specific claims put forward by charities and migrant campaigners.

At 6.30pm on Tuesday, the court blocked a 54-year-old Iraqi from being put on the flight to Kigali, Rwanda.

He had come to the UK on a small boat in May and his asylum application failed earlier this month.

But his court win sparked three more appeals in our courts which used the ECHR ruling to block their flights.

Russian judge Mikhail Lobov will remain a member of the ECHR until September despite Russia pulling out after its invasion of Ukraine.
