Police build up asylum links
POLICE are building stronger links with asylum-seeking and immigrant communities in an attempt to prevent any repeat of the Red Road suicides.
More than 240 people from minority communities in Glasgow have attended an event at the city's Science Centre, organised by Strathclyde Police.
Chief Inspector Jim Igoe, of Strathclyde Police, said: "A major concern was that among these groups there was a fear of police, but also worries about antisocial behaviour, rape and hate crime."
The special event comes after three Russian asylum-seekers facing deportation jumped from the 15th floor of the Glasgow tower block.
