On Thursday morning, British Immigration Control Service agents arrested two people in Afghanistan in the Pollokshield district in southern Glasgow. When they were taken to a van with the intention of deporting them, about 200 people moved to the site to block the road and stop the operation in the area.

Finally, under pressure, the Police decided to release the two men: "British immigration services have taken an operational decision to liberate detained men and return them to their community for the time being."He said he has done so with the aim of "ensuring the safety, public health and well-being" of those who have participated in the detention and protest.
The police and the Ministry of the Interior have not wanted to provide data on detainees, but the director of the Afghan Foundation for Human Rights, Mohammad Asif, has explained that these are Afghans fueled by "British and American bombs."
