Pastor Daly

This is a country that treats asylum seekers worse than dogs, concludes Pastor Daly, a Minister for the Pentecostal Church Chiurch of Redemption, originally from Angola. Daly and his family were detained in Dungavel detention centre and nearly deported this winter. It is ironic that hunting and cruelty to animals is condemned heer, he says, but asylum seekers are degraded, locked up, drugged or handcuffed so that they can be deported - a death sentence. Seeking to flee persecution, seeking to save ones life, has become a crime. Pastor Daly could not attend the conference in person, so his speech was read by Freddie.

There will be a major demonstration at Dungavel during the G8 on July 5th. Transprt is available from both Glasgow and Edinburgh.
