Another dawn raid in GlasgowBy mc, submitted on Tue, 15/11/2005 - 07:19
Another brutal abduction has taken place in Glasgow. The Ahmed family from Royston were snatched from their home on 11.11.05 and deported to Pakistan by British state thugs. The Ahmed family from Royston were taken from their home on Friday 11th November, and were forced onto a plane and deported to Pakistan on Moday 14th. Farhad Ahmed, 16, is believed to be still unaware that his mother, sister and older brother have been deported. Positive Action In Housing reported today: Faheem Ahmed was held to the floor by his neck by security after refusing to board the aircraft without his brother, Farhad who was absent during the raid. Farhat (his mother) witnessed the assault and was viciously verbally abused by an officer who made various threats including that she would never see her son again and that she would go to prison 'forever'.

Re: Another dawn raid in Glasgow
National Day of Action against deportations
This Saturday, 19 November, is a national day of action against deportations of children and young people, with demonstrations in London and Manchester. http://www.standup4children.org
Glasgow: Picket Brand Street, Saturday 19 Nov, 10am – 12 noon
Brand Street in Govan is one of the centres from which families are disappeared. People go in to sign on, and some leave handcuffed in a van, taken to one of Britain's immigrant prisons like Dungavel, before being deported.
Support requested
Come along to Brand Street this Saturday to support the regular picket, to show solidarity with the many asylum seekers who are forced to sign on at the reporting Centre every week, with the demonstrations in Manchester and London, and with all people in Britain living in fear of deportation. This small weekly picket has seen increased intimidation from security guards and police in recent weeks, and support has been requested.
Please lend your support for a couple of hours this Saturday, between 10am – 12 noon. Keep up the pressure, come to the picket, spread the word.
For more information, contact noborders-glasgow@riseup.net
