Men denied proper access to justice in days before Jamaica flight, campaigners warn

MEN due to be deported to Jamaica tomorrow are facing barriers to access legal advice, campaigners have warned. 

The Home Office wants to deport up to 50 men to Jamaica, including the fathers of young children and those who arrived in Britain as teenagers. 

The Morning Star understands that six of those booked on the flight were transferred straight from prison to a short-term holding facility (STHF) in Manchester. Unlike immigration removal centres, STHFs have no provisions for detainees to access legal advice surgeries.
