UPDATE 🧵: 7 people still with tickets for Rwanda 2day. 2 Iraqi Kurdish, 3 Iranian, 1 Albanian & 1 Vietnamese. All have some form of legal action taking place 2day. But this is a race against time #StopTheFlights #StopRwanda #StopThePlane #Rwanda50 #NotInMyName (1/10)
One only got decent legal representation YESTERDAY - all had enormous difficulties finding representation in detention. It is a LIE to say they have had chance to make their cases - there is no time, everything is in English & getting a solicitor is no easy task (2/10)
1 is in Brook House, the remaining 6 are in Colnbrook. 2 have expressed suicidal thoughts to us. 1 reports scaring all over his body from torture. This flight is inhumane & must be stopped #StopRwanda #StopTheFlights #StopThePlane (3/10)
TIMELINE of #Rwanda50 flight & all details we know: Mon there’ll be 2 cases seeking injunction to ground flight plus multiple individual detainees cases will b happening - that’s why we’ll be at the court all day, join when u can! at 5.30pm there’s at demo at Home Office (1/7) 
We suspect flight will b scheduled for TUES EVE. The 2 most used airports are Stanstead & Birmingham - if it’s BHM guards will start taking people to coaches around 5-6pm (later if Stanstead) we won’t know till the day *Watch this space* (2/7)
There are roughly equal numbers of #Rwanda50 detainees at Colnbrook (Heathrow) & Brook House (Gatwick) detention centres. Coaches should start arriving in afternoon of 14th. Detainees are spread between coaches & vans, few in each. (3/7)
Another detainee, arrived 23rd May, held in #Yaswood for 5 days, given letter of intent for Rwanda in English (with 7 day deadline to respond) but told he couldn’t get duty lawyer till he was moved to colnbrook #Rwanda50 #StopThePlane (thread 1/5)
He was moved to Colnbrook & signed up for lawyer the next day (already 3 of 7 days wasted), lawyer calls after 2 days (now only 2 days left of 7 days) - says “I am your lawyer now, will send you docs to sign” & till today he’s had no documents (2/5)
He’s written the form to get duty lawyer several times, nothing. Then he gets an inadmissibility letter saying “you’ve made no submissions” - how the hell could he have made submissions with no lawyer? (3/5)
LONG THREAD 🧵#Rwanda50 how we can #StopThePlane - this is fight of our lives, a defining moment. We cannot let this crime against humanity stand. & while amazing #Activistlawyers work behind scenes to stop this plane, it would be mistake to rely solely on courts (1/20)
This has 2b fight BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY & on all fronts. No one org can do it all, look at this list & think what connections u have, what actions u can take to #StopThePlane then do it. Anyone whose thought “what would I have done in Nazi Germany”- this is your time. (2/20)
We have UK govt determined to destroy human rights in the UK & rip to shreds the very right of seeking asylum - they’ve no tears, they don’t care about horror stories - we will not win by a moral or legal fight alone. #Rwanda50 #StopThePlane #EndDeportations (3/20)
