Refugees for Justice started the process after six people were stabbed in a hotel in Glasgow in 2020.

Baroness Kennedy said her inquiry would look at whether there were flaws in the care and treatment of asylum seekers in areas such as housing and mental health support.

Baroness Kennedy told BBC Scotland the inquiry would examine "whether there was proper provision for the welfare of those people, asking the question why was it they were moved out of places where they had made friends".Six people were stabbed at the Glasgow hotel where asylum seekers were being held during the first lockdown

"The question is were there flaws in the care of those people and whether very bad decisions were made about the housing and was there any question of monetary benefit in the minds of those who made the decisions to move people to those hotels?"
