Action will be taking place in many British cities because a number of Congolese detainees have now received "removal directions" for Thursday 30th August, stipulating Flight number PVT616 and 'Operation Castor'. Castor was the 'Operational' name given to the 'Charter Flight' on the 26th February that removed 21 children and 17 adults to DR Congo.
