THE creation of protest-free zones around Home Office-provided accommodation in Scotland is set to be explored by the Scottish Government.
A proposal to look at protecting refugees from far-right protests outside their homes was agreed to unanimously by delegates at
Dovydas Kuilesas, of the Govan Kingston Branch, told conference: “For months now Erskine has been something of a flashpoint of conflict. A group of far-right activists has been harassing asylum seekers housed in the Muthu Glasgow River Hotel. Erskine councillor Michelle Campbell – the only elected person of colour in Renfrewshire - saw her contact details plastered on material posted around the community by the far-right group, but said the only contact she received was from people thanking her.
“When they first came to Erskine to put on their charade, they made attempts to target myself and they did it very subtly and very carefully in some of the material they were putting out. They put my contact details on there. “Conference reaffirms its commitment to Article 8 ECHR, which includes the right for a person to have peaceful enjoyment of their home. Conference notes with interest the progress through the Scottish Parliament of the Abortion Services Bill, which recognises that freedom from harassment may need to be guaranteed by way of creating protest-free zones around facilities where people access essential services.
