Online-Demonstration against Deportation
Business
The
organisations “No one is Illegal” and “Libertad!” have called on groups,
organisations and individuals to show their outrage at deportations through a
temporary blockade of the Lufthansa homepage.
Every year more than 30 000 people are deported from Germany by
airplane. Lufthansa sells the vast
majority of the so-called "deportee-tickets." Consequently, "Deportation Class"
is big business. However, it is not only that.
Since May 28, 1999 when the Sudanese citizen, Amir Ageeb, died on board
of a Lufthansa flight as a result of ill-treatment by three German border
guards, the company has faced growing pressure to renounce this dirty
business. Because of pressure, the
Captains' Association has recommended that its members refuse the forced
boarding of people or those handcuffed.
The Public Workers Union has also called on its members to take measures
to stop the deportation flights.
