"Home secretary Theresa May is coming under growing pressure over an apparently botched attempt to deport a seriously ill man from Britain on a private plane. Ifa Muaza, who was carried to the plane on a stretcher after a 90-day hunger strike, was returned to the UK after a 20-hour flight that saw the plane prevented from entering Nigerian airspace."
