Jamaica50: Home Office deports suspected trafficking victims
Campaigners outside Downing Street, London, protest against government plans to deport 50 people to Jamaica

THE Home Office has deported suspected victims of trafficking and at least one person who arrived in Britain at the age of 13 on a charter flight to Jamaica, campaigners have claimed. 

The 2am flight today morning left with 37 fewer people on board than were originally due to be deported, following a series of last-minute legal challenges. 

Among those who won last-minute reprieves were reportedly victims of modern-day slavery.
