City Strolls - events - meetings

Press Release Unity - the Scottish Union of Asylum-Seekers are holding a protest in Glasgow city centre, calling for the right to work for all and for an end to dawn-raids.

 A previous protest held on 27 May mobilised over 100 asylum seekers in the centre of Glasgow in opposition to Britain immigration controls. This protest followed a previous march on 8 April, of several hundred asylum-seekers and supporters through the streets of Glasgow: it was the first march of its type in Scotland, and was a great show of the strength that lies within a unified movement of asylum-seekers. The only way to win
the just demands of asylum-seekers is through building a movement of consistent protest, willing to mobilise on the streets. Unity between all asylum-seekers and unity between asylum-seekers and the working-class must be a key part of this movement. The protest will be another important step towards victory.

NO DAWN-RAIDS!

NO DEPORTATIONS!

RIGHT TO WORK FOR ALL!
