A 74-year-old woman has become the first person to be arrested under Scotland's new abortion buffer zone law. The pensioner was handcuffed and taken into custody after police responded to protesters gathered near the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow yesterday afternoon.

The legislation came into force last September and aims to prevent anti-abortion protesters from gathering within 200 metres of the 30 clinics across the nation where terminations are carried out.

The new law prevents any protests or vigils taking place within 200m (656ft) of clinics offering abortion services in Scotland.

A woman has become the first person in Scotland to be arrested and charged under new abortion protest laws. Police were called to respond to a group of protesters outside the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow at around 2pm on Wednesday.
