A 75-year-old woman has been arrested for a second time for taking part in an anti-abortion protest outside a hospital in Glasgow.

Rose Docherty was detained on Hardgate Road, outside the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, on Wednesday while carrying a placard which stated “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.”

She was arrested, charged and released on bail under a new law that created buffer zones outside Scottish abortion clinics.

Ms Docherty was the first person to be charged under the law following a similar protest in February. She was issued with a warning but faced no further action.
