BBC NEWS | Scotland | Protest over Afghan asylum move

Scottish politicians are backing calls for a halt to the forced deportation of Afghan asylum seekers.

Refugee groups have already attacked the UK Government's decision to start sending people back to Afghanistan following the fall of the Taleban regime.

A protest against that decision was being held in Glasgow on Tuesday.

Those taking part were to include Labour MP Mohammed Sarwar, Scottish National Party MSP Sandra White and Scottish Socialist MSPs Tommy Sheridan and Rosie Kane.
