ALT Image reads: Three years ago we stopped a deportation charter flight to Nigeria and Ghana. Far from endangering anyone, our peaceful action prevented people from being deported to places they were not safe. These people are friends, family members, neighbours, mums and dads of young children. 11 people who would have been deported that night are still in the UK now, building lives the government attempted to destroy. We felt compelled to act as we had credible and reliable information about specific individuals who were yet more victims of the UK’s brutal deportation system. We should not have been charged with a terror-related offence, let alone found guilty and we hope that the Court of Appeal will overturn our convictions.
