Meeting of the Parliament 22 November 2012
The debate has been a sobering one, in which we have had to face up to the reality—the reality that people will not find on the pages of the press or in tonight’s Edinburgh Evening News—that some of our asylum seekers, who are the most vulnerable people in Scotland, have to live through daily.Patrick Harvie, Sandra White, Christina McKelvie, Linda Fabiani, Mary Fee and Jamie McGrigor all made excellent and powerful contributions about what destitution means for certain groups of people.Scotland has always been a welcoming country, with a long and proud history of sheltering asylum seekers and refugees who flee persecution to find safety.

The debate will be concluded without any question being put.Motion debated,That the Parliament welcomes the Cuban art exhibition, Beyond the Frame, which is scheduled to be held at The Lighthouse in Glasgow from 7 to 13 May 2012; understands that this will be the first time that such a large exhibition of contemporary Cuban art will be shown in Scotland and that some of the exhibits are also expected to be displayed in the Parliament; understands that all of the exhibition’s proceeds will go to the campaign for justice for the so-called Miami Five, a group of Cuban citizens that have been imprisoned in the United States since 1998 and for whom Amnesty International has raised serious doubts about the fairness of the proceedings that led to their convictions; recognises that the city of Glasgow is twinned with Havana and notes that a number of bars in Coatbridge have achieved “Cuban-friendly” status by offering their customers the opportunity to buy Havana Club rum, which, it understands, helps boost Cuba’s economy; believes that, given the 50-year economic blockade of Cuba by the United States, this is particularly important; understands that there is almost universal opposition to the blockade by the international community and that it is considered to have a severe impact on the living standards of the people of Cuba; wishes the organisers of the exhibition every success, and hopes that it will lead to more cultural, economic and political cooperation between Scotland and Cuba.17:02 I thank the members who signed the motion and those who have stayed behind to take part in the debate this evening.This is the first debate about Cuba in the Scottish Parliament, and as convener of the cross-party group on Cuba, I am delighted that important guests have joined us in the gallery tonight—the Cuban ambassador, Her Excellency Esther Armenteros, and two Cuban family members of the Miami five: Antonio Guerrero, who is the son...
