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)

Things you can do! Pls keep targeting ALL the possible airlines - it’s not 100% certain to be privilege style - Wamos, Iberojet, HiFly are all still possible (4/10)

Please call on all the trade unions to do more than just condemn the flights - we need TUC, @unitetheunion @BALPApilots & others to say they will support workers who follow their conscience & REFUSE to work these flights (5/10)

Keep targeting @Arsenal for their sports washing sponsorship deal with Rwanda - they should tell @RwandaGov @RwandaInUK to drop the deal or they will drop the sponsorship! (6/10)

Target the private companies who @ukhomeoffice contract out escorting & detention to - @G4S @SercoGroup Tascor - anyone else who is part of making this deal work! Stand up to this inhumanity (7/10)

Right now #CHOGM2022 is happening in Rwanda @commonwealthsec - in fact ALL nations should be condemning this deal trafficking in refugees for cash - UK cannot be allowed to abdicate it’s responsibility for refugees! (8/10)

In the same vein @_AfricanUnion need to stand up against this deal - the spectacle of UK w/ its history of enslaving Africans & colonising 3/4 of the world paying developing nations to dump refugees is disgraceful - it cannot be allowed to stand! #StopRwanda #StopThePlane (9/10)
