A FEW weeks ago I heard Amal Azzudin interviewed. Amal is one of the Glasgow Girls, a group of young asylum-seekers and indigenous Scots girls who attended Drumchapel High School in Glasgow.
These girls came together in 2005 to protest over the detention of their friend Agnesa, who was arrested along with her family in a dawn raid and locked up in Yarl’s Wood detention centre.
Sustained pressure from the girls, who took their campaign to the media, politicians and the wider community, resulted in the release of Agnesa and her family.
