A second man, Christopher Richards, also facing removal on Wednesday’s flight, is also a witness. Both men hope the legally binding summons will prevent their deportation on Wednesday’s flight. The Home Office cannot deport people who do not have passports for their country without emergency travel documents issued by the deportees’ embassies. The majority of embassies do not charge for issuing these emergency travel documents but some do. Twane Morgan, an Afghanistan veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder, was due to be on Wednesday’s flight.
