Charter deportation flight to Angola
Chiara | 17.11.2005 21:52 | Anti-racism | Migration
After 3 failed attempt at mass deporting Angolan men, women an children, the Home Office seems to have finally managed to convince the reluctant Angolan Embassy to sign travel documents. The human cargo was due to leave at 9.10, probably from Stansted, on a private plane.
Angolans and Ugandans have been particularily targeted in recent months in order to match deportation targerts.
Mass deportations of Iraqui Kurds are due to start this week-end. Remarkable protests from the Iraqi Kurdish community, which were even reported by BBC television, while the hungerstrike by a group of Ugandan women for over a month received very little media attention.
Against all deportations but especially against against deportations of people who can bloody die if deported, or be imprisoned, raped ad tortured.
Uganda is no better than Zimbabwe when it comes to the treatment of political opponents, it is worst, especially for women, who get gang -raped beside being tortured. Particularly unsafe to return people after the man challenging Museveni's presidency, Kizza Besyege, was arrested and charged with treason.
Afghanistan is not safer than Iraq, but nobody wants to talk about, nor the politicians nor the corporate media.
Angola is far from being a safe place to return to, espacially for political opponents and people with conections with the independence movement - they usually disappear after being deported .
