A torture survivor confronts an airline linked to ‘cruel’ Rwanda deportations.
As the first flight is scheduled to depart today, Kolbassia Haoussou MBE challenged Privilege Style to justify its alleged collaboration with the Home Office in carrying out the deportation policy.
A torture survivor from the United Kingdom has been ejected from the headquarters of an airline suspected of forcibly transporting refugees from the United Kingdom to Rwanda.
Kolbassia Haoussou MBE pressed Privilege Style to justify its alleged collaboration with the Home Office in carrying out the Tories’ controversial deportation policy.
A flight carrying seven asylum seekers is scheduled to leave the UK later today, though three have made a last-ditch attempt to be removed.
Kolbassia was part of a Freedom from Torture protest held outside Privilege Style’s Mallorca headquarters.
They unveiled a banner and chanted “Stop the Flights,” and one protester told airline officials, “You still have time to do the right thing.”
Kolbassia, who fled Chad after being tortured, said the protesters were there to show that they would not tolerate the airline “flying in the face of human decency.”
“People in the UK have made hundreds of calls and sent over 30,000 letters to airlines suspected of involvement in the UK government’s cruel Rwanda scheme,” he said.
Privilege Style thought they could ignore us, so we travelled to their Mallorca headquarters to deliver the message.
