A failed asylum seeker strangled under removal escort by G4S squad

Jimmy Mubenga,  <a now unlawful killed> failed asylum seeker from Angola was served with a removal direction from the UK to Luanda in Angola on Tuesday 12th October 2010 at 8.pm from Heathrow Airport. by the UKBA.

Unfortunately he did not make it to Luanda in Angola. He was strangled on board the BA flight on British soil where his wife and children have been granted indefinite leave to remain and are now refugees in the UK. Speaking on the phone from his detention cell at Colnbrook Immigration removal centre, Sylvester Davies a detainee from Sierra Leone who knew Jimmy, when they both were detained in Dover immigration removal centre couple of months earlier before been transferred to Colnbrook Immigration removal centre,  is categorical. He was killed by those racists people. Jimmy spent time at Colnbrook Immigration removal centre held by G4S.

He shared room with another detainee at the  D (Delta) wing at Colnbrook immigration removal centre and attended on daily basis the gym. He also converted himself from christian to Muslim and used to attend the Friday prayer in Colnbrook. So he was a fit guy and strong and healthy and has never been reported as a trouble maker. he was  a nice simple guy, Davies told me..

Jimmy was not even ill and has never fill a medical request application form to see a nurse or a doctor. One week before his removal from UK, he was moved from Colnbrook immigration removal centre that is known as the most secure removal centre in the UK to Harmondsworth, that is in a prime location adjacent to Heathrow Airport and neighbour to Colnbrook. In Colnbrook Immigration removal centre,

Jimmy was first accommodated in the long term holding facility and then was moved to the short term holding facility where you have less freedom and movement  prior to his transfer to Harmondsworth, that is held by GEO, private security company, and then to the UKBA holding facility at Heathrow Airport.

Normally the day of your removal from the UK, you have to go through the discharge process that takes around 30-45 minutes to complete

You have to sign some paperwork and then being searched by the UKBA escort team or the G4S, custody detainee officers on duty  and then taken to the van to the Airport.

 The first stop after leaving the immigration removal centre is the baggage search and scan area where your luggage and what ever the escort has with them are being scanned and searched for improvised devise and then you make the way to the Airport.

There at the Airport, there is another security check for everyone in the van and the escort team as well and then after that, the escort team will pass your file to the UKBA in place at the holding facility where you meet with those who are going to escort you to the plane.

But before boarding the plane you have to sign again some paperwork agreeing that you understand the procedure of your removal from the UK under the immigration acts or law.

At this point sometime detainee who has nothing to lose again except their life can or normally change the behaviour. Some just stay calm and undergo the process. Here, away from the CCTV recording, escort team used to abuse detainees, call them names and even use physical force to restrain those who are trying to avoid been taken or put forcibly in a plane..

There are many reports to confirm that. The Home Office`s deportation policy has proved highly controversial. A detainee cannot be taken on a plane if is ill. At Colnbrook Immigration removal centre or at Harmondsworth and  Brook House there is a 24 hours medical care provided on site by means of a special medical centre.

But according to the UKBA statement, Jimmy was taken ill on a flight. They never ever take someone on board who is ill as he might have a medical report saying that he is not fit for travel. But Jimmy was fit and healthy and strong.

But according to the Guardian.co.uk interview, one of the passenger on board the BA77 said <Another passenger, Andrew, 44, from eastern Europe, said he noticed "two big guys pushing something with the weight of their bodies against the seats in the last row".> This will explain and confirm that Jimmy was strangled by the escort guard supposed to assist him while he was being deported back to Luanda in Angola.

This is a breach of his human rights and his right to health was then denied if this is the case. There are report saying that he was restrained by the strong men of the escort team and then died of suffocation where an excessive force was used against him.

This is another UKBA deportation`squad smudge. Police have launched an investigation and nobody at the moment is under arrest. The death of Jimmy must be treated as murder and those responsible should face and stand trial and justice.

More than £15.000 it believed, were spent for the removal of Jimmy Mubenga from the UK to Luanda in Angola. Now the UK government will have to spent again lot of money to send the dead body of late Jimmy back to Angola, which now will include diplomatic negotiations between the two country and with the family here and those back home.

The escort team is formed by a specialised black and minorities people who have been granted any sort of leave to remain in the country long time ago and now working with the UKBA to do the dirty and well paid job to kick out failed asylum seekers.

 And to do the job you must have a huge hatred against foreigners and specially black people...Damian Green now has to explain why this happened..
