From the Windrush scandal to the ‘hostile environment’, to the hunger strikes in Yarl’s Wood and the Stansted 15 conviction – this year has witnessed new levels of oppression and resistance.

Tomorrow is International Migrants Day and actions in support of the Stansted 15 are planned in cities in Britain and Ireland.

Leading Northern Irish politicians, human rights groups, academics, journalists and activists have expressed their “deep concern and disagreement” with Monday’s ruling against fifteen human rights activists who “acted to stop a brutal, secretive and barely legal deportation flight” at Stansted airport in March 2017.

The Stansted 15 successfully grounded a mass deportation charter flight in March 2017 by locking themselves down in front of the aircraft’s wheel.

They were convicted for preventing this charter deportation flight through peaceful direct action.

There are protests in several cities to show solidarity with the Stansted 15.

Human rights campaign group Liberty have launched a new report, which reveals the full extent of backroom data-sharing deals between key government departments and the Home Office, focussing on health, education and policing.
