A FEW weeks ago I heard Amal Azzudin interviewed. Amal is one of the Glasgow Girls, a group of young asylum-seekers and indigenous Scots girls who attended Drumchapel High School in Glasgow.

Sustained pressure from the girls, who took their campaign to the media, politicians and the wider community, resulted in the release of Agnesa and her family.
