STOP DEPORTATIONS: Shut Down BMI Airlines 20/1

no borders south wales | 19.01.2009 00:31 | Anti-racism | Migration

No Borders South Wales call for the fourth monthly day of action against BMI Airlines on Tuesday January 20th



This coming Tuesday 20th January will be the fourth day of action against
BMI Airlines.

We once again call on all those who oppose the deportation industry and the inhumane treatment of migrants to contact BMI and let them know what you think of their profiteering from this cruel practice.

As the campaign against them gathers pace, it is clear that BMI will be beginning 2009 in a similar way to that of 2008. Last January, the airline were heavily criticised for twice attempting to deport Veneera Aliyeva and her two young children who had been living in Swansea.

Since then, BMI have been involved in numerous deportations, carrying out the UK government’s dirty work. BMI have made possible the forced removal of people back to situations that they fear, in the name of profit.

Nigel Turner BMI CEO has told us previously that he is satisfied that adequate safeguards are in place for those being deported. We believe this is simply not the case. And things are set to get even worse!

From January 30th this year, deportations will no longer be automatically stopped when an application for a Judicial Review is submitted. The Home Office have also expressed their desire to further restrict and remove certain appeal rights in the proposed Immigration and Citizenship Bill.

Use the information below to contact BMI to make their phones and faxes as busy as possible on January 20th, and every month thereafter until they stop making money from this misery.

Unjustified Removal of Campaign for Truth & Justice Postings from Indymedia

19.01.2009 08:39

I notice on two consecutive occasions that the Campaign's postings were
removed.
There is no justification for this and as a consequence have reproduced the
material and posted it for all to see.
Maybe if there is any thing untrue or derogatory contained within, somebody
can point it out.

No Lawbreaker can be a Law Enforcer!

The judiciary of England & Wales is guilty of the most severe perversion of
justice imaginable and have been aided and abetted by other Public
Authorities, Media Organizations, Downing Street and several Members of
Parliament.

In an attempt to cover-up the death and circumstances leading up to the
death of a 14 month old baby, the judiciary have engaged in the criminal act
of false imprisonment and attempts to section and silence the victim of
their criminality.

Subjected to many years of abuse and violations of his rights guaranteed by
law at the hands of the Metropolitan Police Force and the Judiciary, the
father of the baby (Mr. Caul Grant) acting under duress and self defence
(when all the abuse became too much) imported 45 Kilos of Cannabis into the
UK, in hope he could bring the issues before twelve ordinary members of the
public.

However, at his trial in December 2003, the trial judge, Judge Pratt
deliberately misdirected the jury by telling them that Mr. Grant's motives
were completely irrelevant and that "there is no defence of justification in
English law". This is despite the fact that the Defence of Justification
(Lawful Excuse) had been successfully used before in the UK by Greenpeace
activist as far back as 1999.

More contradictory is the fact that in September 2008, at Maidstone Crown
Court, the jury cleared six Greenpeace activist using the same defence of
Justification again (See Micheal McCarthy, Environment Editor, Independent
11/09/2008).

Even more alarming, Judge Pratt further went on to tell the jury, that if
they acquit Mr. Grant "no other court or jury could stop him or convict him
of anything".

Now Mr. Caul Grant, has remained unlawfully locked up in prison for over
five years without having had the right of appeal against being wrongfully
convicted for the importation of 45 Kilos of Cannabis.

He is now being detained for a further 18 months for not being able to pay a
confiscation order in the sum of £85,000.00.

The judiciary has become judges in its own cause and therefore can not offer
the necessary level of fairness, impartiality and independence for justice
to be done. Until or unless issues of judicial lawbreaking and corruption
are resolved and judicial integrity restored, beyond a reasonable doubt, all
matters conducted before the judiciary of England and Wales, whether civil
or criminal, will be unlawful, because a lawbreaker cannot be a law
enforcer.
