Police plan protest crackdown... over human rights of asylum seekers

Police are planning a crackdown on protests at asylum accommodation after warning the ‘human rights’ of the residents may have been breached.
Bosses raised concern that repeated demonstrations outside the hotels and other buildings where asylum seekers live can have an impact on residents and staff.
Police Scotland is considering ‘whether the cumulative impact of repeated protest in the same place impacts on the human rights of the occupants’.
It has ‘sought guidance from a number of sources including legal services and… human right advisers’ which could lead to police dispersing protesters in cases where the rights of asylum seekers may have been breached.
Simply calling people “far Right” has made things far worse.’
