Police warn protesters to stay away from illegal anti-lockdown demo in Edinburgh

They said the protest, planned for Holyrood later today, was unlawful under current level 4 restrictions. And they warned that where their officers encounter ‘wilful breaches’ they will act ‘decisively’ to enforce the law. Superintendent David Robertson said: “The Scottish Government’s message is clear- ‘stay at home’. “We understand people want to make their voices heard but they must do so lawfully and safely. “Under the current level 4 restrictions, such gatherings are not permitted.
