Defend the SOAS Nine
Tuesday 30th June, 5.30pm

Workers and students at SOAS have called an urgent protest at the Home Office tp demand the release and right to stay for Marina and Rosa of the SOAS 9, detained during the savage raid on June 12th. They are facing imminent deportation.

Against the "Ethnic Charter Flight" to Nigeria... from 12pm to 5.30 in solidarity with these earlier call-outs.

The Stop Deportations Network, involved in the Defend the SOAS 9 campaign, is calling on people to join this protest to also condemn the "Ethnic Charter Flight" to Nigeria due to leave at the same time. These mass deportations are becoming a monthly atrocity.
Hunger Strikers from Yarl's Wood have been booked on to this flight, including the Umoro family: Juliet and Steve and their two children. Steve is in the process of submitting a civil claim for having his tooth smashed and rips damaged by Serco when they attacked the hunger strikers. Both children are ill. They are desperate not to go.
We also know of another man from the Niger Delta region who is to be forcibly deported. No one should be sent to the Delta region at the moment, but this case may prove to be of wider political significance that it is unsafe to describe openly at the moment. The government seems to think that the logistical expediency of mass charter flights is a more important than legal process, and routinely denies the right of judicial review to those booked onto these mass flights.
