They still want to deport him Thursday 11th Dec at 16.15hrs from Heathrow Airport to Khartoum Sudan on flight BD 997.

His solicitor will lodge an injunction - against his deportation - in the morning, but time is short.

What you can do

Email or fax Lin Homer of the Borders Agency to ask them to stop his deportation – if you haven’t already. Quote Abdulmajid’s Home Office reference: J1104674. Lin Homer: Tel 020 7035 1678 Fax 0870 3369050 Email  Lin.homer@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk Please also copy your email to Abdulmajid’s MP Denis McShane at  macshaned@parliament.uk


Call the airline – BMI – that intends to cooperate in his forcible deportation.
Quote Flight Number BD 997 from Heathrow to Khartoum . Departs Heathrow 16.15. Call BMI Head Office: 01332 854000 – open 8am-6pm.



Some tips on calling BMI:

Try to complain to the right person – always ask to be passed up their structure of command when you get “I can’t comment” or if they ask you for irrelevant information (like the booking number of the ticket, or if you have spoken to the Home Office!))
First, ask them if they “are aware that some passengers on the flight will be traveling against their will”. Ask them what company policy is on this matter. If they claim ignorance or will not discuss the matter then…
Speak airline language – money, profit and image. Would BMI want headlines reading “BMI Flies People to their Death”? Is trading people’s lives a source of their massive profits?
Be patient, be as calm as you can and don’t take “no” for an answer. Good luck!


Two of Abdulmajid’s Darfuri friends in Sheffield made these comments about his case:

“My friend Abdulmajid has a young baby here. He has human rights, he wants to be with his family. If he is sent to Sudan he will get lost in a big hole.”

“The Home Office know that Abdulmajid is from Darfur – what more proof do they want? They want to frighten us all and say to us ‘we can deport you too’”. Khalid
