Congratulations to Friends of the Refugees Ayrshire
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates Friends of the Refugees Ayrshire on its continued work at Dungavel detention centre; notes that Friends of the Refugees Ayrshire has continued to hold vigil and maintain a dignified protest at Dungavel in all conditions to raise awareness of, and bring comfort to, those detained in Dungavel; recognises its work with Positive Action in Housing in helping refugees in this country; acknowledges that the continued presence of Dungavel in Scotland is a source of shame to this country, which has rightly been condemned by organisations such as Amnesty International, and calls on the Scottish Executive to put pressure on the Westminster Government to close Dungavel at the earliest opportunity.
