Olive's deportation stopped!
15-03-2006 12:07
Olive Mukarugwiza and family's deportation from Gatwick Airport to Rwanda did not go ahead on 14 March. On the same day, their solicitor won a judicial review and Dallas Court informed the airline, who prevented the family boarding. The escorts apparently were very cross (!) and threatened the solicitor with action! The solicitor will try to get the family out asap. Thanks to all who supported Olive and her family by phoning and sending faxes.Call out to stop eviction of asylum seeker family

This is my first post on Indymedia. This weekend there has been for the first time a gathering of No Borders groups, with people coming from groups in Cardiff, Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham and London.

10 or 11 refugees from Uzbekistan applied for asylum in Ukraine. Ukrainian authorities arrested them and handed them over to Uzbekistan's government infamous for its use of tortures and death penalty. It's the latest, but not a unique, case of such a deportation. Ukrainian activists ask comrades from other countries for help.Friday 10th March // No Borders Benefit @ The Square

Judith and Mariah's deportations cancelled!

Great news: Both Judith and Mariah's deportation dates have been cancelled. Judith's removal was due on the 7th of March. Andy Love MP has 'made furthur representations' to Immigration Minister McNulty on civil claims grounds. However, they are not free yet. It is a short term victory, now we need to make it more permanent. Thanks a lot to everybody who wrote letters or took to the streets! Keep doing, it is working! The campaign to free Mariah and Judith continues!Updated map of detention camps for foreigners in Europe and Mediterranean
