1/3 *WE NEED YOUR HELP* Our friend & colleague Kouame is booked on a deportation flight this Fri.
Please Tweet @royalairmaroc to ask if they know flight Heathrow-Casablanca 17:10 on 3/2 is being used to forcibly remove person seeking asylum to Ivory Coast where his life is in danger?

[Stop Deportations @StpDeportations]

We were ready if they had tried to deport Kouame - and we will be again

[RAPAR @raparuk]

Hold off all action - Kouame will not be forcibly removed tomorrow! We have just it confirmed.

Please hold off all action for now, and we will keep you updated.

Thank you for everyone's hard work and support. It has meant so much to Kouame, and everyone at RAPAR.

[Manchester Roots Project @rootsprojectmcr]

One last thing you can do to help prevent Kouame being forcibly removed tomorrow - join in a phone campaign 10-11am tomorrow (Fri 3rd) more details & script here:

Thank you ❤️

[RAPAR @raparuk]

@RAPARUK would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who's taken action and tweeted, emailed and called on Kouame’s behalf over last few days. Kouame now has legal representation, but is still due for forced removal on 03.03 at 5:10pm.

DAY OF ACTION:

Seems to me the system can be crazily cruel when it comes to people pleading for asylum. Try to read Kouame’s story if you’ve time. It could just save his life #asylum https://t.co/wDDAxdAnH3

🚨BREAKING

This is it. The Government's published its #RightsRemovalBill that:

Strips your rights away

Means authorities don't have to respect your rights

Makes it harder to challenge abuse of your rights

It's time to fight like your rights depend on it. #SaveYourRights

Our hearts are with the people being forced on to the first, unlawful, flight to #Rwanda tonight ❤️ this is not the country of compassion that we are trying to build.
You can help now by asking the airlines to not cooperate. It literally takes 10 seconds: https://t.co/GRCXPJrNFt
