Another mass deportation flight expected from the UK next Wednesday
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade this afternoon confirmed that a chartered flight with a group of deportees will be coming from the United Kingdom (UK) on March 8.
When quizzed about the number of deportees expected, officials from the ministry said that at this time they couldn’t say because the numbers keep changing so they are awaiting a final tally.
Meanwhile, a support group to asylum seekers based in the UK, The Unity Centre said detainees are speaking out against the upcoming charter flight, which are “part of the regular Home Office practice of forcibly removing people en masse on privately chartered ghost flights that leave from an undisclosed location in the middle of the night”.
The group said, “These charter flights are modern slavery”.
