Concerns raised over Glasgow police's aggressive targeting of protesters during Cop26
Police watch as pilgrims march through Glasgow to raise awareness of the climate crisis and demand a fair deal at COP26 for the Global South, as Glasgow prepares for the Cop26 summit
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
POLICE monitoring groups have raised concerns about what they have described as aggressive targeting of protesters during the Cop26 summit in Glasgow.
The Network for Police Monitoring (NetPol) reported on Sunday evening that it believes officers are identifying activists ahead of demonstrations in the city during this month’s climate summit.
Netpol campaigns co-ordinator Kevin Blowe said in a statement that the group had received reports of campaigners being turned away from pubs, as well as a significant increase in the use of stop-and-search powers by police in the city.
