Rights lawyers sue Ghana over third-country deportation deal with the US

Rights lawyers sued Ghana over a third-country deportation deal with the U.S., alleging the government violated human rights by deporting individuals to their home countries despite U.S. court protections. The lawsuit, filed at the Community Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States, represents 27 people among 60 deported since 2025, some held in poor conditions and forced onward to their home countries.
