Rwanda: Asylum Seeker Deportation Flight to Go Ahead

Jun 13, 2022 • Downing Street insists the flight taking asylum seekers to Rwanda will go ahead as planned tomorrow, after the Court of Appeal rejected a legal challenge.

The prime minister said it was necessary to stop illegal people smuggling rackets both in the UK and France.

The SNP compared it to state-sponsored people trafficking. Labour said it was "completely unworkable, deeply unethical and extortionately expensive".

Bulgaria Regrets Failing to Save Thousands of Jews in WWII

BBC: Bulgaria has expressed regret that more than 11,000 Jews were deported to Nazi concentration camps from areas under Bulgarian control during World War II.

A Bulgarian parliament declaration did however praise Bulgarians for having blocked the deportation of more than 48,000 Jews during the war.

It said it could "not be disputed that 11,343 Jews were deported from northern Greece and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia".

Most Jews sent to the Nazi German death camps in Poland died.

Referring to the 11,343 deported, the MPs' declaration said "we denounce this criminal act, undertaken by Hitler's command, and express our regrets for the fact that the local Bulgarian administration had not been in a position to stop this act".

Only a few hundred of those deportees survived, Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust Centre says.

Yad Vashem lists 20 Bulgarians among its "Righteous Among the Nations" - individuals who acted to protect Jews from the Holocaust.

Bulgaria was an ally of Nazi Germany during the war, when Jews were deported en masse from the Nazi-occupied Balkans to death camps such as Auschwitz. » | Friday, March 08, 2013

Italian Authorities Gagged Immigrants with Duct Tape While Deporting Them
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Italian authorities faced severe criticism on Thursday after it emerged that they gagged two North African immigrants with duct tape while deporting them.

A photograph of the two handcuffed Algerian men with their mouths bound with sticky tape was taken covertly by a passenger on the Alitalia flight from Rome to Tunis.

"In the seats at the back there were two men who were being escorted by four plainclothes police officers," Francesco Sperandeo, a film maker, wrote on his Facebook page, where he posted the photo.

"They had their mouths covered with hospital bandages. When one of the bandages dropped down, we saw that the man's mouth was bound with Scotch tape.

"We got up to protest but the officers said it was normal procedure." He was ordered to return to his seat, he said. » | Nick Squires, Rome | Thursday, April 19, 2012

Gaza Aid Flotilla Attack: Israel Starts to Deport Activists
THE TELEGRAPH: Israel has begun deporting hundreds of activists seized from the flotilla of ships intercepted with lethal force in international waters off Gaza earlier this week.

There was no immediate word on the fate of 42 British nationals who were on the convoy of ships taken over by the Israeli navy with the loss of nine lives. One was deported immediately but the remainder were being seen by British consulate staff on Tuesday afternoon and evening.
