Aamer Anwar (born 1967) is a prominent Scottish lawyer of Pakistani background who is noted for his left-wing political views and several associated controversies. He was an active participant in the Stop the War Coalition, campaigned against the 31st G8 summit at Gleneagles and for the closure of the Dungavel Detention Centre for failed asylum seekers. == Early life and education == Born in England, Aamer Anwar moved to Scotland in 1986 to study mechanical engineering at the University of Glasgow for a future in the Royal Air Force. He became a student activist and led a campaign for black students at the city's Dental Hospital. He left engineering to study sociology and politics, and was still a student when, in 1991, he was arrested by police officers for illegally flyposting on Ashton Lane. During his arrest he was pushed to the ground, and had his teeth chipped. Following this incident he successfully sued Strathclyde Police. Sheriff Evans found Pc McKee had deliberately assaulted Anwar in a racially motivated attack and awarded Anwar £4,200 in compensation. He graduated with an MA in Social Sciences in 2004, and from the University of Liverpool in 1996 with a postgraduate diploma in race law, and an LLB from the University of Strathclyde in 1999 and a Diploma in Legal Practice in 2000. Anwar became a solicitor in 2000 and became part of a Glasgow-based partnership, before founding Aamer Anwar & Co, Solicitors & Notaries in 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Glasgow Lawyers )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aamer Anwar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
