Three Held at Stansted Airport After Deportation Protesters Lock Themselves to Plane
March 29, 2017
Three people have been arrested after anti-deportation protesters locked themselves to a plane at a major airport.
Flights were temporarily suspended at Stansted Airport on Tuesday evening after the group entered a secure area and erected a blockade near a non-commercial runway.
Police quickly contained the incident and flights resumed, but several activists remained at the scene into the early hours of Wednesday.
