As an amendment to motion S6M-12855 in the name of Russell Findlay (Repealing the Hate Crime Act), leave out from second "the" to end and insert "there needs to be robust action to tackle hate crime, particularly at a time of rising numbers of cases of antisemitism and Islamophobia; considers that substandard promotion and communication has accompanied the implementation of the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021, which has contributed to the public uncertainty and concern around its potential impact, and calls on the Scottish Government to take all necessary steps to ensure that this can be rectified and the law applied sensitively, practicably, and in a way that fully respects essential freedoms, such as freedom of expression."
