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

Rights lawyers and advocates sued Ghana over a U.S. deportation deal, alleging it violates international law by forcing deportees to their home countries. The lawsuit, filed under a 1979 regional treaty, represents 27 people among 60 deported to Ghana since 2025, who claim they were held in poor conditions and sent to their home countries despite U.S. protections.
