Falkirk asylum seeker says hotel stay 'worse than prison' with no end in sight

An asylum seeker who has been living in a Falkirk hotel for more than six months says it is "worse than prison" because no-one knows when they will finally be given proper accommodation.

Isaias, from Eritrea, spoke out as campaigners called for an end to the "damaging and inhumane use of hotels and other forms of institutional accommodation for asylum seekers across Scotland".

Falkirk is now understood to house more than 100 asylum seekers, although this has not been officially confirmed.
