Story from Belgium

Excerpt:

On Saturday morning, the doctors gave a positive opinion and deemed M. fit to fly. He was therefore taken directly to Zaventem airport and forcibly put on the plane. Seven police officers accompanied him, tying his hands and feet.

Activists notified by the co-detainees were present at the airport to warn passengers of the flight of this violent expulsion. The passengers stood up before take-off to protest against the deportation. M. took a stand and was finally removed from the plane. He is now back in the centre, this time in Vottem, where he is told he will be placed in isolation without access to a telephone for 48 hours.
