LONDRA - Air Italy ha rifiutato di effettuare altri voli charter per le operazioni di deportazione pianificate dal governo inglese verso l'Iraq, dopo che la settimana scorsa aveva fornito un aereo per rimpatriare 40 iracheni a cui era stato diniegato l'asilo politico. Contro Air Italy era stata lanciata una campagna da NCADC. Ecco la notizia riportata dall'edizione online dell'Independent
An Italian airline which flew more than 40 Iraqi asylum-seekers to Baghdad last week is refusing to take part in any more deportations after a public outcry over the controversial flights. The decision by Air Italy to end refugee charter work is a further blow to the Government's policy on removing people to the more dangerous parts of southern Iraq. Ministers were embarrassed last week when the Iraqi authorities refused entry to 30 of the failed asylum-seekers on board the Air Italy aircraft.
