Six deportees from the United States resisted getting off a plane in Liberia last week and were subsequently sent to Equatorial Guinea, which has a third-country deportation agreement with the Trump administration. The group consisted of four Cuban men, a Brazilian man, and a Cameroonian woman who expressed fears for their safety in Liberia.
A Honduran deportee on the flight reported that the group refused to disembark, stating that Liberia was not their country and that they would face danger there. After refusing to leave the plane, they were separated from the other passengers who disembarked out of fear of being forced off.
According to immigration advocates, the deportees were told they would be returned to the United States but were instead flown to Malabo, Equatorial Guinea. Reports indicate that some of the deportees arrived in chains and in distress, with concerns raised about the lack of medical staff at the facility where they are being held.
拒绝在利比里亚下飞机的被驱逐者被送往赤道几内亚
六名被驱逐者上周在利比里亚拒绝下飞机,随后被送往与特朗普政府签署了第三国驱逐协议的赤道几内亚。该小组包括四名古巴男子、一名巴西男子和一名喀麦隆女性,他们对在利比里亚的安全表示担忧。
一名在航班上的洪都拉斯被驱逐者表示,该小组拒绝下飞机,称利比里亚不是他们的国家,他们将在那里面临危险。在拒绝下机后,他们与其他因害怕被强行下机的乘客分开。
移民倡导者表示,这些被驱逐者被告知将被送回美国,但实际上被飞往赤道几内亚的马拉博。报告指出,一些被驱逐者以手铐被带到那里,并且在抵达时情绪极度不安,且对他们被关押的设施缺乏医疗人员表示担忧。
