It's World Pilots' Day, celebrating the pilots who fly millions of people safely across the world✈️

But this government is asking pilots to fly the most vulnerable people away from safety in their cash-for-humans scheme.

Take a stand NOW: secure.freedomfromtorture.org/page/148549/ac…

It was a pleasure to speak with CNN International this morning about the UK's Rwanda removals policy. We Detention Action continue to call on the government to abandon this cruel, inhumane & unworkable policy, & urgently establish safe routes for people to claim asylum

The government's Rwanda plan is plain cruelty. We stand with all people seeking asylum whose lives and rights are under threat as the Safety of Rwanda Act enters law and the UK-Rwanda treaty is ratified.
Take action today and stand against this cruel plan:

If you’re feeling down today about the passing of the Rwanda bill, remember this ⬇️

No flights to Rwanda have taken off yet and we have shown this government our people powered movement is a force to be reckoned with.

Now’s the time to act: secure.freedomfromtorture.org/page/147528/ac…

🚨The UN has said airlines could be held responsible if human rights and international orders are violated.

AirTanker there is still time to rule yourself out of this cash-for-humans scheme before it's too late.

Amazing work from Detention Action.

Our Director, James Wilson, in the The Independent: Airlines must not profit from the misery and human rights abuses caused by the Rwanda plan. If businesses can ignore human rights and international law when it suits them, it puts us all at risk.

More lives lost trying to reach the UK - hours after the Rwanda bill passed.

Deterrents don't work. Its painfully clear that the only way to reduce dangerous journeys is for the government to reduce the need for desperate people to take desperate actions

Outsourcing asylum puts lives at risk.

We can and should welcome those who have lost everything and seek safety.

BREAKING: This Government’s cruel Rwanda bill has just passed.

They say it’s the will of the people, but we know that the majority of the UK believe that people seeking safety should be treated with kindness and compassion.

Today and everyday, we say .

🚨BREAKING: The inhumane Rwanda Bill has passed.

Hundreds, if not thousands of men, women and children now face banishment to an unfamiliar and unsafe country.

All they did was try to find safety and family. We stand with them today. 💔

The Prime Minister's speech this morning overlooked the glaring reality: the Rwanda plan will only compound the chaos within our asylum system, all at an exorbitant cost to taxpayers.

Last week AirTanker refused to meet with us when we turned up at their offices.

Today we’re back in their town, to put a message where they can’t miss it.

📍 Carterton, England

AirTanker there’s still time to do the right thing.

A dark day. But there is always hope.

The Rwanda bill has been passed. Today we grieve, but tomorrow - along with the 500+ orgs of the Together With Refugees coalition - will continue to fight for something better.
