Six-figure payout for Ay family

A FAMILY of asylum seekers has secured a six-figure pay-out from the Home Office after the children were held at Dungavel detention centre in Lanarkshire.

The Ay family, Kurds from Turkey, won the sum when a civil action for unlawful detention was settled out of court, despite the family being deported in 2003.
