Hate Crime Bill passes Holyrood vote despite free speech concerns

Hate Crime Bill passes Holyrood vote despite free speech concerns Updated: 12/03/2021, 12:23 pm © FRASER BREMNER Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf has piloted the bill through the Scottish Parliament. MSPs have voted in favour of controversial hate crime legislation, which critics claim marks a “dark day for freedom of expression in Scotland”. The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Bill, described as the “most controversial in the Scottish Parliament’s history”, achieved majority support from MSPs despite concerns it could lead to a potential “chilling effect” on freedom of expression. Leading the final debate on the bill in the Scottish Parliament, Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf said the legislation “will strengthen the law to tackle hate crime in a way that protects the rights of everyone to live their lives free of harm, while protecting the rights to freedom of expression”.

Controversial hate crime Bill passes Holyrood

Controversial hate crime Bill passes Holyrood The Bill has raised concerns around freedom of expression (Jane Barlow/PA) A controversial new hate crime law has been passed by MSPs. The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Bill was backed by 82 votes to 32 with four abstentions, bringing to an end one of the most heated and contentious Bill processes in the 20 years of the Scottish Parliament. More than 2,000 people responded to a call for views made last year after the publication of the Bill’s first iteration, and concerns over freedom of expression led to a number of changes to the legislation before it was passed on Thursday.
