Ageeb fought fiercely with the three Bundesgrenzschutz officers who tried to put him on a plane to Sudan in Frankfurt am Main on May 28, 1999.
They restrained him with several ropes, hand cuffs and bands, put a helmet on his head, and pushed his head between his knees, apparently all according to their instructions.
As a result, deportation instructions for the officers have been changed, different helmets are now being used, and deportations are more frequently suspended.
Their behaviour was unjustified and grossly out of proportion, as Ageeb had effectively been “tranquillised” by the strength of the restraints placed on him and posed no further physical threat.
It’s possible that one of the four seat cushions, which was placed between the helmet visor and his legs, was a cause of his lack of air, but at any rate it was one of the bindings and coverings on his legs.
In their testimonies, medically-trained passengers who had been called to help when he stopped breathing lamented that they had to perform artificial respiration and heart massage with Ageeb still strapped in his seat, because the federal border officials refused to cut his bonds with the special pliers they had brought with them.

The greater part of these deportations is realized by plane: more than 32.000 people, very often fettered, gaged and narcotized, are brought out of the country this way.
On May 28, 1999, AmirAgeeb from Sudan suffocated and died from mistreatment by German border police while being deported on a Lufthansa airplane.

Barely four weeks later Aamir Ageeb, a Sudanese asylum-seeker, died after he stopped breathing on board a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt to Egypt.
AI continues to seek clarification from the Austrian, Belgian, German and Swiss author-ities regarding the methods of restraint used during deportation operations, and the relev-ant training given to officers involved in such operations.
Most of those pardoned had been held without charge or trial for up to three years in connection with civil unrest in the country from 1994 to 1997.
The Lufthansa company, offering its "world wide net of connections", sells the vast majority of the so-called "deportee-tickets".
Since 28th of May 1999, when the Sudanese citizen AmirAgeeb died on board of a Lufthansa flight as a result of being ill-treated by three German borderguards, the company is exposed to constantly growing demands to renounce this dirty business.
No one is illegal has since stressed the legal responsebility of the captain in case of a passenger travelling involuntarily dying.

Mai 2004 unter Einsatz von Schlägen, Pfefferspray, Hunden, Plastikfesseln und den neuen Modellen des „Abschiebefolterhelms“ (diese wurden vom Innenministerium präsentiert, nachdem AmirAgeeb 1999 bei seiner gewaltsamen Abschiebung und Einsatz eines Motorradhelms in den Händen von BGS Beamten erstickte) in ein Flugzeug (nach Augenzeugenberichten eine Maschine der niederländischen KLM) gezwungen.
Zuvor bereits war ein Rollkommando der Polizei in die Abschiebeabteilung der JVA Fuhlsbüttel eingefallen, hatte alle Gefangenen dort aus den Betten auf den Boden geworfen und gefesselt.
Le 28 mai 1999, le soudanais, AmirAgeeb est mort à la suite des mauvais traitements de la police de l´air et des frontières allemandes à bord d´un appareil de la Lufthansa.
La Lufthansa se met non seulement au service de cette politique raciste,mais en plus elle gagne de l´argent avec.
La mort d´Amir Ageeb à été le début de la campagne contre le business des expulsions : stop deportation class.
