Protesters attack ‘brutal’ deportation

DOZENS of protesters gathered outside a Government department yesterday to condemn last week’s deportation of failed asylum seekers to Nigeria.

Rosanna Flynn of Residents Against Racism said they were considering taking the “brutal and callous” deportation to a human rights authority.

She said some of the 28 people sent to Lagos on a late-night chartered plane included an 18-year-old forced to leave his sister, Irish citizen children and a mother who left without her child.
