The Home Office has announced the evacuation and closure this week of the Dungavel immigration detention centre.
Officials said the move was necessary to ensure the safety of staff and detainees at the controversial complex in South Lanarkshire, where demonstrators gathering for the G8 summit had planned a protest for Tuesday. All 38 detainees will be transferred to other centres.
The Glasgow Campaign to Welcome Refugees said the evacuation was an "over-reaction" and claimed it would cause "considerable distress" to detainees.
