Jamaica: Forced Deportation

Deportation flights from the UK to Jamaica are among the most controversial carried out by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Office. Adina Campbell has been to Jamaica to meet some of the people affected.

Deportation flights from the UK to Jamaica are among the most controversial carried out by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Office. Since 2019, a majority of people listed to be removed have been taken off after last minute legal reprieves and pressure from campaigners during protests. The vast majority have criminal records for offences ranging from petty to serious crimes. Many came to the UK as children, so why are they being sent back to a place they don't remember, having served time for their offences? The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Community Affairs correspondent, Adina Campbell, has been to Jamaica to meet some of the men - and their families - who fear for their safety on an island where they say they don't belong.
