Adjourned till 17 May
Just after 2.00pm, on 16 April in Glasgow Sheriff Court, the case defending refused refugees from eviction into destitution began. YMCA Glasgow's advocate made the case – very briefly that the Y are not a public body and therefore human rights conventions don't apply, that responsibility lies with the Secretary of State and not the Y and that it is legally incorrect that they will suffer destitution if evicted because they can apply for Section 4 support. Time ran out and the case was adjourned till Fri 17 May when we expect to hear the refugees' advocate make their case. Further information from Glasgow Campaign to Welcome Refugees,
