The Afghan asylum seekers deported yesterday were tied up and forced to return to a country where they could be killed, they said in Kabul today.
The Home Office last night put 21 failed Afghan asylum seekers on a flight from Gatwick against their will, the first deportations to the country in eight years.
Speaking from Kabul today, the returnees claimed at least some of those deported feared for their safety in Afghanistan and did not want to leave the UK.
