We collected available information on the charter deportation from 26th of July and the plans of the g5 (they called it "Asylum Airways") and set it in relation to former charter deportations. This article tries to give a short overview on the practice and further plans of charter deportation of the EU.


For english readers we suggest the article from www.autonoomcentrum.nl in Amsterdam, written in 2004:

Further information in english, français, german, italiano, and portugês are provided from the french organisation Cimade. They directed a petition against charter deportations to the EU Parliament in 2003:  http://www.cimade.org/petitions/index.html


Some organisations from Hamburg, Germany, wrote a Call against charter deportation in October 2004.
U can find it as pdf in:
german:  http://www.fluechtlingsrat-hamburg.de/content/Aufrufdeutsch.pdf

français:  http://www.fluechtlingsrat-hamburg.de/content/Aufruffranzoesisch.pdf
spanisch:  http://www.fluechtlingsrat-hamburg.de/content/Aufrufspanisch.pdf

They wrote in this call, that the EU will provide some 30 million Euro for such mass deportations during 2005 and 2006.
