German national Marcus Decker in prison for climbing Dartford bridge faces automatic deportation, say campaigners
Hundreds of protesters were expected to march to the Home Office on Saturday demanding deportation proceedings be called off for an environmental activist imprisoned for scaling the Dartford Crossing.
Marcus Decker is serving one of the longest sentences ever passed for a non-violent protest in British history after a Just Stop Oil demonstration in October. He is a German citizen with leave to remain in the UK, but he faces automatic deportation after serving the two years and seven months sentence.
