Support the Stansted 15 Tuesday 18th December
For International Migrants Day on Tuesday 18 December, activists from all over the UK will stand in solidarity with the Stansted 15, a group of people who peacefully stopped a secret charter flight from deporting precarious migrants to destitution, persecution, and death. Stansted 15 were then charged with terrorism-related offences and on Monday 10 December, they were found guilty of those offences. Amnesty International called the verdict a crushing blow for human rights. Today we will use our collective voices to stand in solidarity with the Stansted 15 and with all migrants. Read more ›
