Demonstrators Rally Outside Holyrood Against SNP's Hate Crime Bill

EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND - APRIL 01: Protesters demonstrate outside the Scottish Parliament as Scotland’s Hate Crime Law comes into force on April 01, 2024 in Edinburgh, Scotland. The hate crime bill, introduced today, criminalises 'threatening or abusive behaviour' intended to stir up hatred against someone's identity. It extends protection to groups including religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, and transgender identity, and applies in people's private homes and online. Despite being passed three years ago, its implementation was postponed due to concerns regarding enforcement. (Photo by Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images)
