Activists' occupation of former homeless accommodation in Glasgow ends

ACTIVISTS in Glasgow ended an occupation of former homeless accommodation in the city today following a court order to leave and weeks of police intimidation.

Members of the Baile Hoose collective left the former Hamish Allan Centre in the city, having held it for more than four weeks,  during which time they offered support to the community and Cop26 conference delegates despite heavy-handed action by police.

Last week, the Morning Star reported concerns that Police Scotland had given misleading information about the force’s treatment of those involved.
