Public Meeting, Thurs 3rd Nov, Gorbals - details below.Dawn Raids continue in Glasgow. Resistance grows.
"I couldn't see my mum, only her crying in the other room. My dad was saying please don't put the handcuffs on my wife she is too ill and my mum is so crying because they put handcuffs on my mum and dad. I said I want my mum but the lady said no. They took me and my little sister separate from my mum and dad, my sister is only 6½ and she's in primary two, and I holded her hand because she was shaking. I was crying as well. My mum and dad were in the van. They took us in another one."
Suna Kupeli, Aged 9, removed in a home office dawn raid on 14 October 2005 with her family from her community in high rise Gorbals and her school at Blackfriars Primary School, two days before Tony McNulty immigration minister denied this was inhumane or caused psychological terror.
Yet another Scottish asylum family has been disappeared in a Home Office Dawn Raid from their community in the Gorbals, where they have lived for the past five years.
