Bail granted for client facing removal to Rwanda.

Home Office claimed our client would be on a plane to Rwanda in June.

Judge referred them to the news & ordered the release of our client as removal is clearly not imminent 👇

BID is appalled that people being detained prematurely in anticipation of flights that may or may not take off. Denying a human being liberty for administrative purposes is a significant Human Rights abuse and should never be an act of political theatre.

🤩Solidarity is beautiful and powerful!

Well done to the people of Peckham who stood up for people in their community.

Together we can make a difference - we can show up for welcome & care over hatred & division.

The last time the government tried to detain people to deport them to Rwanda, we had a 100% success rate at getting them out of detention 💪💪💪

We hope to do the same again.

Here are 5 ways you can help:

DO NOT respond until you have legal advice

If you get a call, we recommend to 👇🏾

129 civil society organisations have come together to welcome the Supreme Court's decision on the Rwanda plan but we remain concerned by this government's treatment of people who move to this country.

We call on everyone to stand up for the rights of people seeking sanctuary.
