Over 30,000 people marched through Glasgow on Saturday in support for Scottish independence reports The Guardian.

The march was led by the ‘All Under One Banner’ movement which describes itself as “open to everyone who desires an independent Scotland”

The march came after Nicola Sturgeon announced she would introduce legislation to hold a second independence referendum before the end of the year.

Calls for a second independence referendum have been increasing amidst Westminster’s political deadlock on Brexit, and the Scottish people's ongoing demand to remain in the EU.

We need your support

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
