I suppose that I have now been labelled as a human rights activist. These past few years I have come across a level of discrimination, prejudice and violation of human rights in Scotland that I would not have believed could have existed. I hope to use this blog to raise some awaremess of the issues and to keep the members of Amnesty informed of developments.

This blog gives you the inside story of dealing with the UK asylum system and also supports Amnesty’s "still human – still here" campaign. We will blog about injustice, tragedy, campaigning, hope, perseverance and friendship
