Birth of baby renews calls for asylum seeker to stay in Glasgow

: "THE Scottish wife of an Algerian asylum seeker has given birth to his daughter, leading to new calls that he should be allowed to remain in Glasgow.

Karen Serir, 31, was three months' pregnant when her case was highlighted after their arrest in February during a dawn anti-terrorist raid by armed police.

Ali Serir, 28, was detained for four months despite never being charged, and released only after campaigns led by Aamer Anwar, his solicitor, and Tommy Sheridan, the Scottish Socialist party leader." The Herald
