An OAP has been arrested for the second time after allegedly breaching abortion protest buffer zone laws.
Rose Docherty was arrested on Hardgate Road, outside the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, on Wednesday, according to BBC Scotland.
The 75-year-old was reportedly carrying a placard stating: "coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want." when she was arrested.

Rose was arrested, charged, and released on bail under the Safe Access Zone legislation.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 1.50pm on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, we were called to a report of a small protest on Hardgate Road in Glasgow.
“Officers attended and a 75-year-old woman was arrested and charged in connection with a breach of the Safe Access Zone legislation.
"She is due to appear in court at a later date.”

The law, which came into force last September, created buffer zones outside Scottish abortion clinics and made it a criminal offence to behave in ways that could influence the decisions of women and staff to access services within the exclusion zones.
Rose was the first person charged under the new law following a similar protest in February.
