The trial of a Swedish woman who blocked the deportation of an Afghan asylum-seeker by refusing to sit down on an airplane is being held today. She had purchased a ticket for the Istanbul flight with the intention of preventing the deportation of another Afghan man, however ended up stopping the expulsion of a 52-year-old convicted criminal. 'All I want to do is stop the deportation and then I will comply with the rules here. When she heard that 52-year-old Bismallah S. was due to be deported on an upcoming flight, she bought a ticket. Her disruption of the flight severely delayed take-off and eventually saw her and the Afghan and his assigned security removed from the flight.
