A woman has appeared in court charged with breaching abortion clinic buffer zone laws.

Rose Docherty became the first person charged under the Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) Act after holding up a placard outside the facility in Glasgow in May, and again in September.

Under the laws, introduced in 2024, activities which could “influence or alarm others around hospitals and clinics where terminations are carried out” are prohibited.

Ms Docherty, 75, made no plea during the initial hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Friday and will appear again on 13 January.
