A coach carrying 60 people due to be deported to Sri Lanka from the UK on 19th September was stopped from leaving the detention centre when protestors blocked the entrance and someone attached himself to the bottom of the coach. This held up the flight by 3 1/2 hrs, during which 35 people won last minute injunctions and had their deportation cancelled.
