The Glasgow Campaign to Welcome Refugees in conjunction with G8 Alternatives called a demonstration outside Dungavel removal centre to draw attention to the racism of asylum policies.
People imprisoned there feel so desperate that many have tried to commit suicide. They have committed no crime yet are treated like criminals. Across Europe many thousands more are locked up like animals. Their only ‘crime’ has been to flee war, rape, famine and persecution, seeking safety and freedom. It is the policies of the G8 nations that create these horrific wars and famines that force millions to migrate in the first place. The G8 leaders need to know that we will not stand by while they demonise and whip up racism against refugees. Their scapegoating policies are a crude attempt to divert attention away from their disastrous economic and military adventures which force people to live in abject poverty and then brand refugees as illegal, imprison them and violently deport them to imprisonment, torture and death.
On 5th July thousands of people from across Europe and beyond showed solidarity with those behind the wire by joining an mass protest at Dungavel to demand equal rights and free movement for all, and for an end to detention and deportation.
