Forced deportation: A nightmare foretold in Yarl’s Wood

On the morning of May 30, seven women and two men were forced to leave the country. These people had been detained for between three weeks and nine months. Here is the account of a detainee who witnessed what happened. She spoke to The Prisma.
“Detainees are being taken by force to a charter flight for a mass deportation”. This was the first message that the Prisma received on Wednesday morning May 30 from Yarl’s Wood. It was followed by more calls and texts which detainees kept sending all day, reporting what was happening.
