Police are urging people not to gather for a planned demonstration near the Scottish Parliament building in Edinburgh tomorrow against the ongoing coronavirus restrictions.
Superintendent David Robertson, of Edinburgh Division, said: “We are aware of a proposed demonstration in Edinburgh in relation to the ongoing restrictions in place to help prevent the spread of coronavirus and save lives.
“Anyone thinking of taking part is strongly urged to find alternative ways to protest rather than attending mass gatherings, for example through digital means.
“Police Scotland will have a proportionate and appropriate response should this event go ahead and will act decisively to enforce the law if required.
“We are asking people to take personal responsibility to do the right thing and remember the purpose of these measures is to aid the collective effort to stay safe, protect others and save lives by preventing the virus from spreading.”
