Stars show support for Palestine at Scottish Bafta awards

STARS at the Scottish Bafta awards showed their support for Palestine at a ceremony on Sunday night.

The awards honouring the excellence and talent across Scotland’s screen sector took place in Glasgow on Sunday evening.

David Tennant was among the winners for his performance in There She Goes while the Highland horror film Out of Darkness scooped three awards, including for best feature film.

Among those to show their support for Palestine was actor Khalid Abdalla, who had a message on his hand which said, “end the genocide” (below).
