Jeremy Corbyn (MP): Islington North, labour, speaking in protest at the death of Jimmy Mubenga during his removal from the UK by the Home Office. this is what he said to his fellow citizens on 12th November .
.< 'The most grotesque travesties of justice occur in our prisons, in our immigration detention centres, and youth custody centres, ending up in people being deported in the way that Jimmy was and dying in the process.
Jeremy Corbyn, Mp speaking at the rally outside the Home Office.
In demanding justice for Jimmy in reality we are demanding justice for a much wider group of people in a much wider world. When the history of the latter part of the twenty-first century is written, we will see the stories of those that have tried to flee from poverty and oppression from many parts of the world in order to economically survive,
and the hypocrisy surrounding the way in which migrant workers and others are exploited, ill-treated and then deported, even though the wealth of the west continues to rise.
We call for justice for Jimmy, for the truth to be told and, above all, to end deportations that are forced and end the detention of people and start the process of granting recognition to those that are trying to survive and contribute to our society and our economy.
I appeal to everyone in this country to think very very carefully about what we are doing to those just trying to survive....>
