There is a new charter flight to Afghanistan planned for the 6 May. The previous charter was cancelled at the last moment for security reasons, after the Taliban launched some major co-ordinated attacks on Kabul and other cities, that left more than 50 dead.

As you may know, deportation charter flights from UK to Afghanistan are a regular occurrence, with one flight London to Kabul every two weeks, on average.

There is a new charter flight to Afghanistan planned for the 6 May. The previous charter was cancelled at the last moment for security reasons, after the Taliban launched some major co-ordinated attacks on Kabul and other cities, that left more than 50 dead. Another charter was previoulsy still cancelled because concerns about the private security guards from Reliance who escort the deportees.

To obtain asylum in UK is very difficult for the Afghans, the Home Office uses the internal relocation argument - i.e. if someone is not safe, say, in Helmand, he can 'safely relocate' in Kabul, which is not true, there is no part of Afghanistan that is safe, as the recent attacks by Taleban clearly demonstrate.

No Borders! Stop deportations!
