Stop Deportation Of LGBTI Asylum Seekers
Nigerian High Commission, London. Tue 17 May 2017
Nigeria allows the UK to arrange charter flights to take asylum seekers
back to Nigeria
Many who are returned face mob attacks, public whippings, evictions
from homes, harassment and discrimination
for being gay - or even for being suspected of being gay.
Nigeria could stope these flights simply by refusing to accept them
- but the UK offers financial incentives
Nigerians and others say they should not allow themselves to be bribed
in this way, but should protect their citizens
Some of those deported are only part way through their applications
for asylum
but will have little or no chance of pursuing these claims from Nigeria
As well as Nigeria, charter flights are arranged to other countries
including Bangladesh
