In June and early July of this year I carried several posts about the case of Sakchai Makao and the campaign to prevent his deportation. Here's a nice footnote to that:
The community[-]led campaign to prevent the deportation of Lerwick man Sakchai Makao back to his native Thailand was honoured last night at a ceremony in Glasgow."Shetland for Sakchai" was voted Public Campaign of the Year 2006 by judges at the Scottish Politician [of] the Year awards, sponsored by the The Herald newspaper and drinks firm Diageo.
