ANICET MAYELA: BEATEN UP BY GSL; NOW THEY WANT TO DEPORT THE EVIDENCE!

edited and posted by CHIARA | 04.04.2005 22:02 | Migration | Repression


Can anyone living in the Southampton area (or with contacts there) keep an eye on this situation please?

Mr Anicet Mayela - Congo D.O.B. 13/04/76
Port ref: PLY/541405
Whether this deportation proceeds or not, it appears Southampton Airport is being used to deport people to Congo (via Paris - and, I assume, to other ex-French
parts of Africa) so some kind of action there would probably be a very good idea: leafletting flight crews, passengers etc...

Anicet Mayela is in Campsfield at the moment, and threatened with deportation at 9:30 am on Wednesday, on an Air France flight (details below). He was attacked and his hand was smashed by his GSL "escorts" during a deportation attempt at Heathrow on March 19th. His lawyers - Irene Nembhard and Ola Alatise of Birnbergs have lodged a complaint, which should result in the deportation being cancelled. But nothing can be presumed!

He is a very nice, bright 22-year old from Congo (Brazzaville; entire family killed in 1997). He arrived in England in March last year speaking no English; now speaks pretty good English, after just a year - spent
mostly in Plymouth.

His lawyers could also to tell you what's going on. But I am sure it would be worth examining the situation at Southampton Airport anyway.

I think it will be his birthday on April 13th.
