Sadly on 11 December, Ibrahima Bah was refused permission to appeal against his conviction & was upheld a 9.5yr sentence for manslaughter as the reluctant pilot of an inflatable that sank in the Channel.

Ibrahima is one of over 450 people who have been charged with new offences brought in by the British Government in 2022, intended to criminalise people arriving irregularly to the UK. We call for an end to this violent practice both in the UK and across Europe.

We see his imprisonment as typical of a system that seeks to criminalise and punish people on the move and those seeking safety in Britain, especially when they are black and brown.

At trial Ibrahima was clear: he steered the dinghy because he was forced to, and did everything he could to save everybody when the dinghy got into trouble.

Bring banners, signs, and join us at any time and as long as you are able to! We are planning to be there from 9am until 4pm. We will find out the exact time of the hearing closer to the day and post on our socials.

He received a sentence of 9.5 years imprisonment. 

On 4th December, the Court of Appeal will decide whether to grant permission for Ibrahima's case to be appealed. Join us inside and outside the court as we demand justice and freedom for Ibrahima.

Ibrahima is being scapegoated for violent border policies which prevent people from being able to safely reach the UK. In February, he was found guilty by an all white jury of four counts of manslaughter by gross negligence, and for facilitating the arrival of survivors.
