one of No Borders | 26.09.2011 22:27 | Anti-racism | Migration
The UK Border Agency have detained over 50 nationals of Sri Lanka, in several Immigration Removal Centres and have set removal directions for all of them. They are due to be forcibly removed from the UK on Charter Flight PVT 030 @ 15:00 hrs on Wednesday 28th September to Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is still in a dangerous/perilous state and not safe for any opponents of the present Sri Lankan regime to be returned.
Please phone/ e-mail the airline, the Home Secretary Teresa May, the deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, and ask they stop the deportation flight / details below.

As the recent international calls for accountability for recent War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity committed on Tamil civilans in Sri Lanka remains unanswered, there is mounting evidence of routine torture of civilians since Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa's declaration of victory in 18th May 2009. Thousands are still held in concentration camps or have disappeared.

“Blood boils” at the Labour Party conference over torture in Sri Lanka
Fresh from the frontline in Libya, Channel 4’s Jonathan Miller dropped into the Labour Party conference last night to chair Freedom from Torture and Human Rights Watch’s timely fringe event on the desperate need for justice and accountability in Sri Lanka and to cover lessons that can be drawn from the Sri Lanka “case” for the protection of human rights within UK foreign policy.
With another charter flight scheduled to leave London on Wednesday to forcibly remove a group of refused Sri Lankan asylum seekers including Tamils, Freedom from Torture presented fresh evidence that torture continues long after the cessation of hostilities in the country.
