Deportation with police escort Brussels Airlines flight SN 299 to Cotonou scheduled for 1 November 2021 at 11.05 am.
One
of our contacts, locked in 127bis, was told that a flight was scheduled
for 1 November 2021 at 11:05 to forcibly deport him to Benin. He has
never lived in this country but had transited through it to flee the
persecution he was the target of at home. His aim was not to stay in
Belgium but to join his brother. Unfortunately, he was arrested at
Brussels Airport and has been locked up in the closed centre for 4
months. Like many others
Without knowing anything about the Belgian system, he started his first asylum application from the detention centre, under extremely stressful conditions. The General Commissariat for Stateless Persons and Refugees did not consider him credible enough. On his second application, he could not even be interviewed!
Yet he tells us that he is in danger of death if he is forced to return to the country he fled!
He had been subjected to a first expulsion attempt which he had refused.
He will be accompanied by a federal police escort who will put him on the plane by force, handcuffed, and will keep him in his seat until he arrives in Cotonou.
We cannot accept these deportations!
Meet at the airport at 9am on 01/11/2021 to explain to the passengers the situation and their rights and duties: https://www.gettingthevoiceout.org/how-to-stop-a-deportation/
Flight SN Airlines 299 11hO5 with stopover in Abidjan then Cotonou
Let’s prevent this deportation by writing, faxing and phoning those responsible for these criminal acts.
