Scotland's controversial Hate Crime Bill
MSPs are discussing whether to make changes to the controversial Hate Crime Bill.
The bill aims to simplify Scotland's existing hate crime laws into a single piece of legislation but has caused controversy over the proposals around "stirring up hatred".
Critics of the bill have labelled it 鈥渁uthoritarian鈥, while it has also attracted criticism from faith groups, artists and lawyers about its perceived impact on freedom of expression. The Nine's social affairs correspondent Chris Clements has been speaking to those who are for and against the new legislation.
