Dungavel protest after asylum seeker’s alleged suicide

Dungavel protest after asylum seeker’s alleged suicide

At the Scottish protest, speakers included Socialist MSP Rosie Kane and Aamer Anwar, the human rights lawyer.

Ms Kane said: "Everyone who arrives at Dungavel is supposed to be checked by a doctor. What was done to assess the mental health of this obviously desperate young man? Someone should have spotted that he was a suicide risk and appropriate steps taken."
