LONDON – Jimmy Mubenga, a father of four who sought asylum in the UK
as an Angola national, did not find the freedom nor safety he was looking
for.
He violently died on board of British Airways flight 7, bound to Luanda,
Angola on the night of Thursday 14 October 2010.
He was “heavily restrained” by the hands of G4 security personnel, a
parasitic private capitalist company contracted by the British government to
enforce their colonial deportation orders against African and other
oppressed peoples.
As usual, the leaders of the oppressors tried to lie to cover this murder.
G4 company said a man “became unwell” on a flight while being deported
and the government joined the lie by saying that “Mubenga had taken ill.”
The eyewitnesses on the plane were clear on what happened. Wallis, a 58-
year-old oil engineer from Redcar in Cleveland, Ohio (USA) described how
he heard Mubenga "moaning and groaning" as though in pain…
Mubenga complained about his breathing difficulties for at least 10
minutes, before he lost consciousness.
The Guardian wrote on Friday 15 October, 2010, “And despite the cries of
distress from Mubenga that ‘he can’t breathe, he can‘t breathe,’ nobody
reacted, to stop this murder on BA77.”
Another eyewitness, Ben said that “the three security guards were on top of
him for 45 minutes... You could hear the guy screaming at the back of the
plane. He was saying ‘they are going to kill me.’ That is what he repeatedly
said.“
The airplane authorities only decided to cancel the flight when it was clear
that Mubenga was dead.
This in itself shows the inhumanity of British Airways and this British
society, which could not cancel the flight to save a life.
Mubenga came into the UK because the British leaders, using their
monopoly of propaganda like BBC, the British Council etc., told the African
youth that Britain is a land of democracy and human rights.
After 16 years in Britain and despite having four of his children born here in
the UK, despite working hard to keep and raise a stable family, he has
remained an undesirable alien in the eyes of the British rulers, who refused
to extend his stay under the obscure and ridiculous excuse that he could
not live in Britain because he had a brawl in a night club.
