Hey AirTanker, long time no see.

2 years ago you told us you wouldn’t fly refugees to Rwanda on behalf of the UK government ... now you're not answering our calls.

So we're turning up the heat.
Tell AirTanker: Don't profit from refugees' pain 👇

Thank you to every Peer & MP speaking up for people made most vulnerable by this government, for the people simply wanting to make this country their home, each with their own good & lawful reasons.

We are better than this government, we are a better country than this Bill 🧡

Right before closure, it was the fourth most popular open petition

We now wait for the UK Government to heed the popular calls for a Gaza Family Scheme that would reunite Palestinian families until return is safe 1/

Jenrick doesn’t want to ‘treat children in anything other than a compassionate & fair manner’.

Over 100 children remain missing from his hotels.

How? Any time an MP, or anyone else for that matter, tells the media that people seeking asylum should use approved routes they should be asked how, and then pressed on it. There are no genuine routes to seek asylum in the UK, barring a few on paper alone.

Children married as young as 11, others starving to death.

Families drinking from streams or eating weeds to survive.

This is the grim reality of life in Sudan, one year after it errupted into bloody civil war.

Do watch this powerful report on Windrush victim Richard Black returning to the UK after 40 of unnecessary exile. His criticism of the Windrush compensation scheme is also worth listening to

Thank you so much for everyone who joined last night's Think Human Festival: From Hostility to Dignity event at Oxford Town Hall. Some really inspiring reflections around migration and how we can begin to shift the narrative towards one of dignity.

Small thing I guess but it’s very cliched for the media to always illustrate stories about the Rwanda Bill with pics of people in dinghies - more informative surely to show eg the Rwandan police shooting refugees dead, as they did in 2018, or the jails where they keep dissidents

This.

Thanks to Stephen Kinnock, Janet Royall and Wendy Chamberlain MP for your parliamentary questions.

We all need to continue campaigning until families like Muhammad's are safe and reunited. It's the very least we can do.

Urgent questions are now being asked in Parliament. What matters most are the answers.

Will the Home Secretary, James Cleverly🇬🇧, act now to help the Afghan families facing imminent deportation?

The motions to be debated on the Rwanda bill as it returns to the Lords today are here bills.parliament.uk/publications/5…

Looks like 5 further amendments have been tabled by Peers, including from the Labour frontbench.

In 2021, AirTanker flew thousands of people to safety
In 2024, they're in talks to fly people away from safety

Make it make sense 🤷

Ask AirTanker to refuse to forcibly fly refugees to Rwanda 👇secure.freedomfromtorture.org/page/147528/ac…

Do you know of anyone who has been given a notice of removal to Rwanda and who does not have a legal aid lawyer to help challenge the decision? If so, please get in touch

Muhammad told BBC News (UK) that it felt like 'everything that I'm trying to do is not working', with the situation now critical as Pakistan steps up its deportation of Afghan citizens.

He needs action today, James Cleverly🇬🇧, Home Office, Afghanistan APPG.

If there ever was an example of the government failing to provide a safe route to get to the UK, it’s this. At Refugee Council 🧡 we work with children who were separated from their parents during Operation Pitting. 30+ months on, there is still no way for these families to reunite.
