Activists housing campaigners and indigenous groups at a disused community space in Glasgow call out heavy-handed policing

ACTIVISTS occupying a disused community space in Glasgow in order to provide safe accommodation for campaigners and indigenous groups have slammed heavy-handed police presence at the site. 

Members of the Baile Hoose Collective say that their peaceful work at the site has been interrupted by officers in recent days despite their legal right to remain there. 

The group has taken over the former Hamish Allan Centre to house people, who organisers said have been forced to sleep in the city’s parks during the climate summit.
