Scotland has given us our dream back, say female Afghan students

A group of female Afghan medical students say studying in Scotland has given them back a dream that was taken away from them.

The 19 women came here a year ago with the help of the Linda Norgrove Foundation.

The charity was set up in the name of the Western Isles aid worker who was killed in Afghanistan.

They were forced to give up their studies after the Taliban took control and cracked down on women’s rights.
