A Jamaican man whose deportation was halted last November after passengers on a BA flight from Gatwick to Kingston protested when they witnessed him being restrained on board, is due to be deported on Sunday.

Lawrence Morgan, 27, has convictions for serious firearms and drugs offences. During the Home Office’s attempt to deport him last November, passengers on the flight protested after seeing him being restrained by escorts at the back of the plane.
