Dear Supporters Thanks for signing my petition. When people are deported by air they are restrained in inhumane & humiliating ways. Cuffs, shackles and waist restrain belts are disgracefully used. I wrote this article for The Guardian in 2016 about people being deported to Jamaica including the trauma, experienced on the flight. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/sep/08/50-people-snatched-deported-jamaica-uk-immigration Here's another article about restraint during deportations; https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/immigrants-subject-to-excessive-and-illjudged-use-of-restraint-during-removal-flights-from-uk-a8394671.html Airlines should not be endorsing such conduct. I've been commenting on British Airways' instagram account to bring their attention to the petition. It would be great if you could do the same and bombard them with comments to keep up awareness and pressure on them. Here's a link; https://www.instagram.com/british_airways/ Please continue to share the petition. Thanks & Best Wishes Zita Zita Holbourne; National Co-chair BARAC UK
