I shared a breaking news update about Rose Docherty, a 74-year-old woman arrested under Scotland's "buffer zone" law for holding a sign that invited conversation. This incident occurred shortly after VP Vance criticized the Scottish government for its strict regulations. I also expressed my concern about the treatment of Christians in Scotland, feeling that we are marginalized and criminalized for our beliefs, likening our status to that of "heretics" in a society dominated by a different ideology.

This is what Rose was arrested for. Standing. With a sign. Inviting anyone who wants to talk, to do so. DAYS after VP Vance called out the Scottish gov for their draconian law. https://t.co/1XZbctRjjQ

As a Scot, I can tell you this is 100% true 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 In Scotland, Christians have become an underclass - bullied, discriminated against, and criminalised for their faith. We are treated as “heretics” against the dominant “Church of Woke”. https://t.co/oo6c9O3EXM

Just a few months ago, in October, the Scottish government started sending letters to residents within designated "safe access zones." These letters cautioned that even private prayer inside their own homes could be construed as a violation of the law. The government encouraged people to report anyone suspected of engaging in such "thought crimes". I'm concerned that free speech is diminishing in Britain and throughout Europe.

Speaker 0: This last October, just a few months ago, the Scottish government began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within so called safe access zones, warning them that even private prayer within their own homes may amount to breaking the law. Naturally, the government urged readers to report any fellow citizens suspected guilty of thought crime. In Britain and across Europe, free speech, I fear, is in retreat.

I witnessed Scottish police enforcing the "buffer zone" law during a silent vigil, despite government denials. Rose Docherty was targeted for holding a sign that read, "Coercion is a crime. Here to talk, only if you want." The police claimed her silent presence constituted a vigil, which they deemed a breach of the Act. Rose clarified she was simply pointing out the illegality of coercion and inviting conversation, but the police insisted she move away from the area, questioning her intentions based on her past protests.

🚨BREAKING🚨: Scottish police filmed applying “buffer zone” law to “silent vigil”, despite recent denials from the Scottish government! 👮‍♂️ “Am I committing an offence?” “Yes, I believe you are conducting a silent vigil” Vance was right. The law IS being misapplied to prayer!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 https://t.co/Gsm0x4yspM

We are considered in breach of the act if we approach someone and try to dissuade them from accessing abortion services. This includes actions such as surrounding individuals as they enter or exit a clinic or hospital. Distributing leaflets, engaging in religious preaching, or remaining silent after being asked to move also constitute violations.

FULL TRANSCRIPT: Police: Examples of what would be classed as breaching the Act would be approaching someone trying to persuade them not to access abortion services, surrounding people as they go in and out of the clinic, handing out leaflets, religious preaching, silent vigils. So standing here saying nothing is a silent vigil Rose: But I'm just pointing out that coercion is against the law and that if anyone wants to come and speak to me they can. I'm not doing anything else Police: You’re saying to me that you're not doing anything wrong but there's obviously a reason why you're here. Why you're in this area. I'm aware that you have been protesting here against abortion before. So I don't understand why you're here in this area again protesting the same thing Rose: I'm here to say that if anyone wants to come to speak to me of their own volition they can Police: I would advise you to move away from this area Rose: So I'm just here to speak to anyone if they want to speak to me. That's what I'm doing standing here saying that coercion is a crime and if anyone wants to speak to me they can. So is that an offence? Police: We’ve asked you to move

As a Scot, I see firsthand how Christians are marginalized and treated as outcasts in a society dominated by a "Church of Woke." It's disheartening to witness our government banning prayer on the streets, highlighting the need to restore decency in Scotland.
