A BAFTA Scotland winner used her winners speech to warn viewers about the "terrifying winding back" of human rights across the world, highlighting Donald Trump's US abortion ban and the genocide in Gaza.
Producer Hannah Currie, who won the award for best Factual Series, told guests it was "essential" they recognised the connection between abortion bans, censorship over Gaza and increasing racism.
Several stars at the awards showed their support for Palestine on the red carpet in Glasgow, with actor Khalid Abdalla writing on his hand, "end the genocide”.

Actor Adura Onashile (below) was pictured dressed in the colours of the Palestinian flag while walking the red carpet.
Currie accepted the award for Not Your Average Family - a BBC series exploring the real lives of Scottish influencer couple Charlie Allan and Lauren Faulkner as they navigate difficult issues.
In the show, the couple documents Allan's transition from female to male and Faulkner tackling a mental illness.
Currie, from Glasgow, dedicated the award to the couple "as well as the wider LGBT+ community".
She added: "I want to take this opportunity to draw attention to the terrifying, winding back of human rights that we are witnessing before our very own eyes.
"Whether you're most appalled by the racism rising in our streets, by the US bans on abortion, by the widespread silencing of those who speak out against genocide, then it is essential that you understand that they are all connected."

Currie then warned viewers that if they "allow the marginalisation of one minority, you hold open the floodgates for the erosion of all hard won rights".
She concluded: "And who knows, it could be yours that they come for next."
The call comes a year after the BBC edited out multiple calls for a ceasefire in Gaza from the awards ceremony – including the presentation of an entire award.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
