Deportations of Afghans continue

"Fairness is what justice really is." - Potter Stewart View this email in your browser This morning we look at the deportations of Afghans back to their home country. Lawyers have managed to save many deportees but more could be scheduled on a flight to leave the UK tomorrow. With Afghanistan's minister for refugees telling European governments that 80% of his country is still unsafe, should questions be asked as to why Theresa May seems hellbent on pressing ahead with the deportations? Elsewhere, we report on a video which appears to show a boy with autism being punched by a police officer. The teenager's mother said she was shocked and upset by the footage and will be taking legal action. Northamptonshire police have launched an investigation into the allegations.
