ROHR letter sent to TUI UK & Ireland, signed by
Attention: – The Chief Executive Officer
Dear Sir / Madam,
RE: STOP FACILITATING DEPORTATIONS TO ANY DESTINATION.
We normally write letters in civil language but in this case you will excuse us.
We, the organizations who are signatories to this letter and listed below are asking you to STOP FACILITATING DEPORTATIONS TO ANY DESTINATION. PLEASE CONCENTRATE ON HOLIDAYS, YOUR CORE BUSINESS.”
Instead of facilitating holidays you are facilitating trips to hell, by running deportation charter flights for the UK Home Office.

6 August 2021: Zimbabwe Human Rights Organisation: ZHRO: Sign here: Legal Challenge to Stop Mass Deportations by the Home Office
Home Office Policy Change is Apparent: It has come to our attention that since the week commencing 5th July 2021, the UK Home Office “Enforcement Unit” has been detaining large numbers of Zimbabweans for the purpose of deporting [for those with a criminal conviction] or forcibly removing [those within the asylum system] on [expensive] chartered flights the first of which departed on Wednesday 21st July 2021. Those being “targeted” are mainly those without leave to remain and / or have no ‘live’ leave-to-remain applications filed with the Home Office. The Home Office are claiming that most are “hardened criminals” – but this is a gross distortion of the facts – simply pandering to bigotry.
It is our considered view that many of the deportees face imminent danger if they are forcibly returned to Zimbabwe. Read more: https://www.change.org/p/the-general-public-legal-challenge-to-stop-mass-deportations-by-the-home-office?signed=true
