HOW YOU CAN HELP -
contact ie tweet, call, email @royalairmaroc - ask them why they are prepared to be complicit in forcefully deporting somebody to a place where their life is in danger, on a passenger flight where others onboard will witness Kouame's distress.
❗️❗️❗️KEEP KOUAME SAFE ❗️❗️❗️
Kouame is an activist who faces deportation to the Ivory Coast, where his life has been threatened. He's due to be on THESE flights on Fri 3rd Feb from Heathrow on Fri 3 Feb 5:30pm (GMT):
AT801 Heathrow to Casablanca
AT533 Casablanca to Abidjan
This Wednesday 29 Jul, our govt plans to deport at least a dozen women, & LGBTQ+ people to Nigeria.
Just as we said No to the Rwanda flights, we must say No to the Nigeria Charter flight. #StopTheFlight https://t.co/FtUr5yDEQN

Things like unsafe housing are tools of the violent state, as they prescribe premature death for working-class and PoC in particular. This violence, these murders, are rooted in racial capitalism & colonial logics.
Explained brilliantly by @NadineElEnany: https://t.co/tcYOXpsf4Z
Today, on the anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire, an act of gross intentional structural violence by a state that has built its wealth on the premise that Black lives do not matter, we fight against proposed deportations to Rwanda. There is a colonial through-line here.
Immense solidarity and unbounded respect for @StpDeportations and every person, group, community fighting this. For @Care4Calais, @pcs_union and everyone fighting it in the courts. For everyone showing their solidarity. No deportations. Not today, not ever.
We still need people to support our activists who are in police stations in Hammersmith, Colindale and Charing Cross.
Please call @GBCLegal on 07946541511 if you can support!! #StopRwanda#EndDeportations
🚨🚨🚨EVERYONE WILL BE TAKEN OFF THE FLIGHT!!
NOONE WILL BE DEPORTED TO RWANDA TONIGHT!!
We have won today, but we will continue the fight tomorrow and against EVERY racist deportation ✊🏾✊🏾🔥🔥
The fight is not over. The government is ignoring our outrage and still rushing the Rwanda deportation.
Join us today 5.30PM outside the Home Office. We will stand up. We will resist. No to deportations - not to Rwanda, not anywhere!
#Rwanda#StopRwandaFlight#StopTheFlights
Tomorrow the PM - no doubt trying to bury partygate news - will announce plans to send refugees to asylum camps in Rwanda.
We can’t let these cruel & dangerous go ahead - we have to stand up & say #RefugeesWelcomeHere
📍Join us - Thu 14 Apr, 6pm, 2 Marsham St
