Some human rights activists condemned the US for keeping the deportees in shackles on a flight to Ghana. They also criticised US officials for treating the deportees in an inhumane manner. However, Mr Jackson told the Foreign Affairs Committee of Parliament on Thursday, June 22 that such assertions were false. On the contrary I think we treated them as best as possible given the fact that they refused to leave the United States voluntarily,” he said.
