Allies in the struggle against forced deportations

24.01.2002 10:23

Over the last fortnight there have been almost daily protests at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 4 against refugees and asylum seekers being deported against their will.
On Saturday, 12. Jan 02, the latest in a line of successful airport actions at Heathrow Terminal 4 took place. Supporters of a mother and her two children, due to be removed to South Africa, handed out leaflets to the passengers detailing the plight of the family, asking them not to take their seats. They also spoke to the cabin crew and the pilot who were completely unaware and then refused to carry them. Two of the demonstrators were arrested, but later released without charge.
