This is appalling. The Home Office has deported 11 Syrian asylum-seekers even including those with family in the UK. Some as young as 18. They landed in Spain with nowhere to go, no food, no water despite the 32-degree heat. They are homeless and hopeless.

One of them said that his time at Brook House detention centre near Gatwick brought back memories of being held in an underground jail in Syria. Despite their trauma they were all told to quietly board the plane or escorts would force them in.
“I was so happy when I reached the UK but the way I have been treated by the UK has destroyed me,” one said. These vulnerable people have lived through war, violence and persecution in the most dangerous countries in the world. The UK should not be another hell for them.
We stand in solidarity with those on hunger strike at Brook House who are facing deportations and call on the government to #canceltheflights. All protesters arrived in small boats via the Channel. Many are torture victims with severe PTSD.

Now, during a global pandemic, the Home Office wants to rush through the deportations of vulnerable people.

We at Care4Calais stand with @sdetsup in demanding that the government cancel the charter flights to Yemen, Iraq and Iran and end ALL deportations of vulnerable refugees who have fled violent conflicts.
