British activists that blocked a deportation flight with nonviolent interference are threatened with life inprisonment.

The activists are accused of blocking the runway, but they are not the ones who did that. It was the state. The state followed a policy of maximum overreaction, based on the worst imaginable case, which it had every reason to know was not occurring. It can't justly blame its overreaction on the activists.

The article explains that the UK denies some deportees the right to appeal decisions, and cheats others out of that right by deporting them illegally fast.
