Demonstration Against Charter Flights

Organized by Cameroon Support Network

Tuesday 8th September 2009
From 11.30 am to 2.00pm

Home Office
Direct Communications Unit
2 Marsham Street
London SW1P 4DF
(Nearest tube: St James Park Station)

Following on the momentum built by the Friday demo in Manchester the Cameroon Support Network is organising a demonstration outside the Home Office against planned Charter flight to Cameroon (Some of the Cameroonian detainees have been told verbally by detention staff that it is the 9th but not confirmed by UKBA).

In recent week, the UKBA has rounded up several Cameroonian families with very young children across the country for various detentions as they plan their second charter flight to Cameroon.

Therefore, we are calling on many people as possible to lend their support to the many families who have established strong ties in the UK and are set for an uncertain return into the hand of a Cameroonian regime whose human rights records are renowned as poor and despicable (US state report, Amnesty International & Human Rights Watch)

This demo is an emergency demonstration and so we urge you to forward to as many people as possible

Cameroon president defends £35,000-a-day French holiday
The President of Cameroon was reported on Friday to be running up hotel bills of almost £25,000 a day during a three-week break in the south of France.

The calculation does not include costs for shopping trips for Mr Biya's wife, Chantal, and her entourage. In a holiday described by his government as his "right", President Paul Biya has taken 43 rooms in the five-star L'Hermitage Barriere in the resort of La Baule on the Atlantic coast.

While the average annual income in the West African nation is less than £700 a year, the President's outlay for his 20-day stay will total more than £700,000, French media reported. That calculation does not include costs for shopping trips for Mr Biya's wife, Chantal, and her entourage, nights in the casino or tennis matches on one of 29 courts in the country club attached to the hotel.
