Woman charged over abuse of pro-Palestine protesters in Glasgow …

BBC Scotland is reporting that a woman has been charged in connection with threatening and abusive behaviour directed at a pro-Palestine protest in Glasgow.

The 28-year-old is alleged to have shouted abusive comments towards those taking part in the city centre demonstration on Saturday.

Protesters initially gathered at Glasgow Central Station before marching to Glasgow Green.

Police Scotland said a report had been sent to the procurator fiscal.

Meanwhile, a woman who shouted a Nazi slogan and made a fascist salute has been jailed for two weeks.

Rochelle Green told a court her behaviour outside Glasgow Mitchell Library on 3 October last year was for “entertainment value”.

The 32-year-old went on to strike an elderly stranger on the head as he passed by and made a gun gesture towards him.

Green was convicted of threatening and abusive behaviour as well as assault following a trial last month at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

She was initially fined £500 by Sheriff Vincent Lunny.

However, that was converted to a two-week custodial sentence after Green said she was was unable to pay the sum.

In London tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered on Saturday, a day after a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas came into effect in Gaza.

But the horrors of war were still very evident as hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians made their back to what’s left of their homes, towns and cities.

The Metropolitan Police said it had made 14 arrests in London for offences including breaching Public Order Act conditions, affray and supporting a proscribed group.

The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.

Since then, more than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed, including more than 18,000 children, the Hamas-run health ministry says.
