Amdani’s deportation postponed

Amdani Juma’s deportation flight to Burundi via Nairobi on Kenya Airways flight KQ101 was cancelled at zero hour yesterday on Tuesday June 10th as an application for an judicial review, accepted by the High Court, was finally acknowledged. Supporters visited him all afternoon at Colnbrook immigration removal centre (run by private contractor Serco with transportation support from Group 4), and stayed well after the flight was seen to take off from Heathrow airport. Amdani’s legal battle to stay has only just begun, and he is not yet out on bail. This evening (June 11th) he was moved from Colnbrook to Campsfield Detention Centre in Oxfordshire. The struggle for his right to stay continues, but we can be happy he wan’t on that flight and look forward to having him back in Nottingham soon.
