Friday 17 August 6.00 - 7.00pm (Assembling from 5.30)
Red Road, 33 Petershill Drive, Glasgow. In spite of the condemnation and protest of the Scottish Parliament, Glasgow City Council, the Church of Scotland, the Catholic Church and other religious bodies, the STUC, Glasgow Trades Council and numerous trade union bodies and community and campaigning organisations, the eviction, enforced homelessness and absolute destitution of some 50 or more refused refugees is going ahead.
Many of them have received notices to quit from Ypeople and the Sheriff's Officers by 17 August. Further legal action may now take place to enact the evictions.This, days after the Crown Office has decided it is "not in the public interest" to hold a fatal accident inquiry into the deaths of the Serykh family. Join the protest called by Glasgow Campaign to Welcome Refugees at the Red Road flats on Friday teatime. Bring banners, placards, friends and workmates. The campaign against this shameful abuse of vulnerable refugees from the world's most dangerous countries continues and will go on to challenge the government, UKBA and their new landlords, Serco and their agents, Orchard and Shipman.
