At least three people who visited Lunar House earlier today for a reporting visit have been detained and told they will be removed to Rwanda. One of the men is from Sudan, where a violent conflict is raging, driving millions to flee.

This Syrian man thought he was attending a routine appt, then told he would be sent to Rwanda. "When I went to sign they told me they want to give me papers. They took me aside and after that there was a police van. They took my phone and put me in a [cell]. I'm very scared."

It's the time of the year again!! Being able to distribute excess food from Leeds' glorious allotments made a massive difference last year. If you own an allotment or grow your own veg please consider donating any excess to PAFRAS.

Inhumane. Cruel. Performative. Unjust. The Home Secretary’s own lawyers have literally said there will be no flights until 24th July. Yet people remain locked up; denied freedom for no reason. 🔒 Let’s unite to stop this injustice. #FreeRwandaDetainees

3 more grants of bail for clients facing removal to Rwanda. Removal is clearly not imminent. It's completely immoral that the Home Office is requiring us to individually challenge each case. Free all those locked up due to this inhumane and unlawful policy now‼️🚨
