An organising meeting called by No One Is Illegal

Meet by the bar on the ground floor

On November 29th a law to limit immigration, punish people for having relationships outside of the EU and further link language and immigration controls, will come into effect. Spouses and partners, from outside of the European Economic Area, applying to come to Britain, will have to pass an English language test before they come to the UK. The government estimate that this will lead to a 10% reduction of people coming on the spousal visa. The new requirement will be debated again next Monday in the House of Lords.

On 12 October 2010, Jimmy Mubenga an Angolan man died during a forced deportation from the UK.

Shortly before he died, Jimmy was heard by other passengers crying out for help.

There have been fourteen deaths (twelve men and two women) since 1991 during forced deportations. The official cause of death in most cases was positional asphyxia or cardiac arrest. Of the fourteen that died, ten were Africans (of which six were Nigerians).
