Security scuffles with disabled protesters at anti-Atos action
BLAZERED security officers at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games headquarters tussled with disabled protesters yesterday as they protested against hated sponsor Atos.
Dozens of demonstrators demanded that organisers axe the IT giant from public promotions of the Games in light of its role in deadly cuts to disability benefits.
Atos has sought to boost its public profile by sponsoring database software for international sporting events.
