Activists slam excessive restraint of deportees

ONE hundred people are set to be deported in a chartered flight from Stansted airport tonight as campaigners accuse the Home Office of using “excessive” restraints.

The 22.30 Titan Airways flight heading to Nigeria, Ghana and Sierra Leone is thought to also be carrying a Belgium-born man who has lived most of his life in Britain.

According to immigration activists, many are being boarded under duress and issued travel documents unrelated to their actual country of origin.
