FANTASTIC NEWS!
Isa, the 45 year old Nigerian man who the Home Office tried to deport yesterday morning is now back in the UK!

Isa who had been on hunger strike for 99 days was taken from his room at Harmondsworth at 2.30am on Friday morning and put on a luxury private jet to be flown to Abuja at 8am.
During the flight however the jet belonging to Air Charter Scotland based in East Kilbride that cost an estimated £95 - £110 thousand, was diverted to Malta where it stayed for several hours.
When the plane took off again it didn’t continue to Abuja but instead returned to the UK where Isa was taken back to the medical centre in the Harmondsworth detention centre where he had been on hunger strike for over three months. The Guardian website are saying this was because the plane did not have permission to enter Nigerian air-space.  http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/nov/30/theresa-may-hunger-striker-ifa-muaza-asylum-uk
Isa has been speaking to Unity volunteers all day since he called us this morning to tell us the news. He’s in excellent mood considering the turmoil and wishes to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped in his campaign so far.
Please if you haven’t done so already send Isa a postcard or letter of support.
