THREE Glasgow schoolgirls
are to feature in a BBC documentary tonight about
the fate of Scotland's asylum seekers.
Drumchapel High pupils Roza, Amal and Agnesa all
come from troubled countries and their parents have
claimed asylum.
All three, who have become firm friends, are now
facing deportation. Their story is told in a film
they made themselves and is part of the Tales From
The Edge series. Agnesa, a Roma gypsy from Kosovo,
talks of her fears of being murdered on her return.
Roza, from Kurdistan, speaks of her family who have
already been killed in Iraq.
And Amal, from Somalia, talks of the certainty of
her family being tortured if they have to return to
Somalia.
A BBC spokesman said: "This is a really powerful
piece of film told through the voices of girls who
have made Glasgow their home." Pupils and teachers
at the girls' school also appeal against the
deportation of the Vucaj family from Kosovo. THREE
