Jimmy Mubenga: G4S murder The inquest underway into the death of an Angolan man who died on a deportation flight in October 2010 has exposed the casual, racist brutality of Britain’s immigration service. Jimmy Mubenga died while being handcuffed and roughly restrained on a British Airways flight by G4S private security guards, despite begging for help around 50 times. 21 eye witnesses have told the court they heard Mubenga calling out that he couldn’t breath and that they were killing him. Yet the guards have denied hearing him calling for help or knowing Mubenga was in danger of suffocation, despite being handcuffed from behind with his head forced down against the seat in front of him, in a position known to carry a risk of asphyxia, for more than half an hour. Three security guards were arrested at the time of Jimmy Mubenga’s death, but the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to proceed with the case. revolutionarycommunist.org/index.php/fight-racism/3033-ts050613
