Concerns raised over Glasgow asylum seekers accommodation

Data Correspondent and Presenter

A week after the Glasgow knife attack – where six people were injured – the police officer who was stabbed has been released from hospital, although four other men are still being treated.

The attacker, who was shot dead by police – was one of more than 300 asylum seekers in Glasgow who were moved into hotels around the city as lockdown began.  A practice which was concerning campaigners and some asylum seekers long before the attack.
