The Marcus Omofuma Deportation

Ten years ago May 1st 1999, a young Nigerian Mr. Marcus Omofuma was killed during his deportation from Austria to Nigeria via Sofia (Bulgaria). Mr. Omofuma, 25 years old, protested against his deportation - an act which costs him his life. He was taped down to his airplane set so tightly that he was almost totally immoble. Even his ability to breath was greatly reduce.

Seven years ago, human rights activist Werner Eder described what happened that sad day. With details from Austrian Medias.
