Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross claims law coming into force in April could lead to ‘innocent people being prosecuted’
Humza Yousaf has hit back at “disinformation and inaccuracy” surrounding Scotland’s controversial hate crime act, after the Scottish Conservative leader, Douglas Ross, suggested the new legislation would result in “innocent people being prosecuted”.
Yousaf, Scotland’s first minister, said “a lot of disinformation” about the reach of the act had been “spread on social media, through some inaccurate media reporting, and by political opponents”.
