Campaigners outside Downing Street, London, protest against government plans to deport 50 people to Jamaica
THE government has been accused of putting detainees through “torture,” preparing them for deportation today in defiance of a court order.
On Monday night the Home Office lost a ruling to deport 25 of the 50 detainees it had scheduled to put on a charter removal flight to Jamaica at 6.30am today.
But later that night it emerged that all the deportees, including those protected by the court order, were bundled into vans and sent to Doncaster Sheffield airport.
