Activists took to the runway at London Stansted Airport yesterday night, March 28th, blockading a flight filled with asylum seekers being deported to Nigeria and Ghana.
The activists numbering about 14 took to the tarmac at the airport in an attempt to stop the flight.
Using tubes and chains, the campaigners including members of the Lesbians and Gay Support the Migrants group, locked on to each other and a pyramid structure and refused to leave the runway until the flight is cancelled.
Many of those on board claim their lives will be in danger should their return go ahead. Among those due to board are a 21-year-old asylum seeker who claimed his brother and grandfather were killed in Nigeria.
