Glasgow.<\/p><p>On both occasions, Rose peacefully offered consensual conversation outside the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and was arrested on suspicion of breaching Scotland&#8217;s censorial 2024 national &#8220;buffer zone&#8221; law. The law prohibits &#8220;influencing&#8221; the decision of a person to &#8220;access, provide or facilitate&#8221; abortion and is enforced within 200m of every hospital where abortions occur.<\/p><p>Following her first arrest, the Procurator Fiscal decided in August 2025 not to proceed with the prosecution against Rose, in a free speech win. But this did not stop the police from arresting Rose a second time in the following month.<\/p><p>After her second arrest, Rose was the first person to be charged under the 2024 law and was criminally charged with &#8220;influencing&#8221;.<\/p><p>In April 2026, in the first free speech win under a national \u201cbuffer zone\u201d law in the UK, a judge dismissed the charges against the 75-year-old Christian grandmother, accepting that they violated Rose\u2019s right to free speech, and noting that the Procurator Fiscal had \u201cfailed to disclose an offence known to the law of Scotland\u201d.<\/p><p>The judge ruled that the charge was not \u201cprescribed by law\u201d, since it failed to identify another person in the zone who was criminally influenced by Rose\u2019s behaviour, which is an essential ingredient of the offence.

ADF International supported Rose\u2019s legal defence.<\/p><p>Sherriff Reid dismissed the case<em>\u00a0pro loco et tempore,<\/em>\u00a0meaning the matter can be brought back should prosecutors bring
