Destitute Refugee Attacked on the Streets of Glasgow
As we wrote this, a quiet, gently spoken young Iranian 'asylum seeker', Ali Mohammed Sadegh, was asleep in the back of our office...We would not normally allow this but then this is not a normal situation. On Friday 16th April at 11.30 pm, Ali was viciously beaten and stabbed by a group of 6 white men in what we believe was a racially motivated crime...Ali has been absolutely destitute for seven months. He has absolutely nowhere else to go but the street where he, and many others like him, have been forced out of their homes after being deemed 'failed asylum seekers'.
