There is a human rights crisis in Scotland. Hundreds of asylum seekers are being thrown out of their flats onto the streets of Glasgow and left destitute. They are in limbo, banned from taking jobs, unable to return to their home country, prey to violence and abuse. Even the police are shocked. - Camcorder Guerillas
