The 25-year-old man, who came to Canada in 2018 as an international student, and has since worked in Edmonton, Alberta as a nurse, ran out of options this year when his work visa expired and his application for refugee status was rejected. Uganda has become one of the most dangerous countries for LGBTQ+ people this year, with the introduction of its harsh Anti-Homosexuality Act. The act, which was signed into law in May, calls for the death penalty for certain same-sex activities, and has prompted a torrent of abuse against LGBTQ+ people in the country, from both citizens and police.

"Israeli rights groups say Israel detained the workers without charge, due process or legal representation at a fraught time while their families in Gaza endured Israel’s devastating bombardment. Over 9,000 Palestinians have died in the fighting, according to the Health Ministry in the Hamas-run territory.
“They had valid permits to be in Israel and work there,” said Miriam Marmur, public advocacy director at Gisha, an Israeli rights group that promotes freedom of movement for Palestinians. “They suddenly lost their status. They were in danger from anyone — army, police, any random Israeli who sees them.”"

On a cold November afternoon in 2021, the three of us used metal lock-ons to chain ourselves together and block a quiet, private road near Gatwick airport, outside Brook House immigration removal centre, to prevent people being forcibly removed to Jamaica. We took action in solidarity with and support of people the government was trying to rip away from their children, partners and loved ones, while some were also physically resisting their deportation inside Brook House. We were arrested and charged with causing a public nuisance. We denied that and told the jury we felt we had a moral responsibility to act. The jury members appear to have empathised. They acquitted us. That speaks volumes. Living in this country and under a government proactively working to perpetuate racism, violence and other prejudice against marginalised people, there is an obligation to resist, in whatever way you can. That was our motivation. We now know that 41 of the 50 people the government tried to deport to Jamaica on that flight are still in the UK, and many of them have sent us grateful messages of support. Mothers have thanked us for resisting on behalf of their sons, while others have said that knowing there were people out there willing to stand up for them meant so much at a dark and lonely time – and that they can now enjoy their lives with their families.

Defiant to the last, Fritz Kuhn, former head of the German-American Bund (aka the American Nazi Party), waves goodbye as he is deported back to Germany, September 15, 1945.
Kuhn and his followers were active in promoting Nazism in the U.S., using anti-Semitic, anti-Communist, pro-American, pro-German propaganda. He served four years in prison for tax evasion and embezzlement and was then re-arrested on charges of being an enemy agent. After his deportation to Germany he worked for a couple of years as a free man before being convicted under the de-Nazification laws and sentenced to ten years of hard labor. He died in 1951.

After the Soviet invasion and occupation of eastern Poland at the start of the Second World War, hundreds of thousands of Polish citizens were deported to camps, collective farms, exile villages and various outposts of the gulag deep in the USSR from February 1940 to June 1941. There were four waves of mass deportations from the Soviet-occupied Polish territories. The first major operation began on 10th February 1940. The second wave began on 13th April 1940. The third wave took place betwen June and July 1940. The fourth wave occurred in June 1941. Tens of thousands of Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians were also deported at the same time. Most of the deportees were women and children….

In the 11th hour, the deportation order that would have sent a 25-year-old gay man back to Uganda was cancelled Friday. “The government stepped in, they intervened to cancel the removal, and they’ve offered my client a seven-month temporary resident permit along with an open work permit so he can pursue other options,” the man’s lawyer Michael Battista confirmed. “The battle isn’t over for him. He hasn’t been given permanent resident status. He’s been given the opportunity to file further applications next year when he becomes eligible for them.”

Hey I have a question, is it wrong that I support a peaceful two state solution between Israel and Palestine where they’re both their own independent countries separate from one another? I just believe that a one state solution under either country will result in genocide, deportation, and discrimination. I just think there should be peace, respect, and tolerance between the two countries. 🇮🇱❤️🇵🇸🕊️

Today, we commemorate 78 years since the May 18, 1944 mass deportation of the Crimean Tatars from their homeland in Crimea, Ukraine.
It was the ethnic cleansing and cultural genocide of at least 191,044 Crimean Tatars on 18–20 May 1944 carried out by the Soviet government.
Can you even imagine it? They did it just in three days.
Nearly 8,000 Crimean Tatars died during the deportation, while tens of thousands died because of the harsh exile conditions. The Crimean Tatar exile resulted in the abandonment of 80,000 households and 360,000 acres of land.
A lot of Crimean Tatars have returned home after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Today Crimea is occupied again by Russia. A lot of Crimean Tatars are imprisoned and repressed. Again.
There is so much pain in the history of this brave nation.
Ukraine will win and Crimea will return to Crimean Tatars.
