stopdeportation press relesase, 22 October 2009:
A magistrates judge has ruled that police acted unlawfully when arresting six anti-deportation campaigners who were blockading Colnbrook detention centre, near Heathrow airport, on 12th May, 2009, to try and prevent Iraqi refugees from being forcibly deported to Iraqi Kurdistan on a specially chartered flight.[1]

Sitting at the Uxbridge Magistrates Court, judge Jane Wright concluded
that "the exclusive aim" of giving the order under Section 14 of the
Public Order Act by the senior police officer present at the scene,
Inspector Beattie, was "to facilitate the deportation of a number of
people to Iraq without further ado."[2]
