She said she had read the law and believed that her actions were not violating legislation.
“I considered what I was doing … I looked at the law and saw what he said I could, and I thought, okay, that’s what I can do … I can offer myself to listen, and if anyone wants to come and talk to me, she can do it, only if she wants to come and talk to me,” she said BBC -ov Scotcast.
She said she was ready to go to jail for an offense.

Dr. Greg Irwin, a doctor in Qeuh -u, painted with a group protesters In February 2023, saying that “they cause emotional agitation to patients and staff members,” by BBC. The groups have been protesting outside the hospital for 10 years, which has led to passing the law on zone of safe approach.
MacKay said her patients and staff told her that they still had to go through protesters as they attended Qeuh who led to trouble.
“I think it is appropriate to take these problems seriously and the Government considers whether or not the extension is appropriate,” MacKay told the BBC.
