16:30: Police have cleared the prisoner solidarity demo at the Sheriff Court with two people arrested.
16:00: A spontanous demonstration is taking place in front of Sheriff Court. One person was forcefully arrested under alleged bail violation: the police claimed that he was in an area where he was not allowed to be. He had the map with the marked no-go area in his pocket which he was given in court. The police refused to look at this map even when he and supporters told them about the map. Later police said that he was supposed to leave Edinburgh yesterday already, even though he was only released today; or in a second report that he was supposed to leave the city in 4 hours. Neither of these are true.
