The case against 75-year-old Rose Docherty, arrested for peacefully holding a sign and offering help to women near a Glasgow abortion facility, has been dropped by Scottish authorities. Docherty, supported by ADF International, rejected a warning and refused to admit guilt under Scotland’s new “buffer zone” law. Advocates argue the legislation chills free speech, with concerns it could criminalize even silent prayer in private homes. The U.S. State Department has also questioned Scotland’s commitment to freedom of expression as similar cases draw global scrutiny.
