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)
Three days ago he got removal directions (a ticket) for Rwanda on 14th. We’ve now referred him to a lawyer. He is a potential victim of trafficking. @RwandaGov @RwandaParliamnt you are complicit in this gross spectacle of injustice & inhumanity - DROP THE DEAL! (4/5)
There’s not even pretence these asylum seekers are being treated fairly - it’s a stitch up from start to finish: pure racist political theatre from a corrupt, failing govt. #Rwanda50 #StopThePlane (5/5)

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)

He came to UK for his birthday, to meet friends& party (he spent time living here years ago). Arrived 22 Oct, return ticket booked for 31 Oct. There was incident at party, he was arrested, held overnight but released without charge - he missed his plane (2/7)
On 1st Nov immigration arrested & took him to Colnbrook. He complied with everything, signed every document, hasn’t had legal advice because HE WANTS TO GO HOME. He is still in detention 3wks later & hearing from his increasingly distraught wife how much she is struggling (3/7)

#Jamaica50 flight has gone. @Wamosair are profiteers who took @ukhomeoffice blood money - not airline used before. We believe there is 10 or less on flight, smallest no since they restarted in 2019 post #WindrushScandal thank you to everyone who took action (1/5)
26 tkts cancelled out of 30 people in contact w/ MFJ. Detainees, families & communities put through torture in service of this governments racist agenda #StopThePlane #Jamaica50 #YesItsRacist (2/5)
Our hearts & solidarity go out to the families grieving this evening. We stand with you and with all those fighting this racist hostile environment. Our rage knows no bounds for the inhumanity, racism & injustice of this rotten immigration system. #Jamaica50 #StopThePlane (3/5)
