A deportation flight from the UK to Jamaica took off in the early hours of Wednesday morning. On board were 13 men of the original 50 destined for the flight. Campaigners continue to protest, saying that the UK's deportation laws "condone child cruelty" by separating parents from children.
On December 2, the UK Home Office is planning a charter flight to deport up to 50 people back to Jamaica. A group of 91 Black public figures and campaigners have written an open letter to airlines urging them to refuse to accept the contract. Opposition MPs have also joined in.
