More than 1,600 Glaswegians sign petition to waive visa requirements for Ukrainian refugees

Thousands of Glaswegians have signed a petition urging the UK Government to waive visa requirements for Ukrainian refugees fleeing the Russian military invasion.

Some 9,728 people in 59 Westminster constituencies covering the nation have supported the online petition to make it easier for those escaping the war to come to the UK.

Of these, more than 1,600 were in Glasgow constituencies, with hundreds protesting the invasion at George Square demonstrations in recent weeks, including this afternoon (March 5).
