No need to report abortion protests, say police

Police say they won't take action against anti-abortion protestors unless they commit criminal acts.

Isle of Man Constabulary responded after questions about graphic images were raised in the House of Keys this week.

Home Affairs Minister Bill Malarkey said laws were in place to arrest people for offences such as breaching the peace.

However, officers say the protests so far have stayed within the law - but they'll continue to monitor the situation and will intervene  if necessary without needing a complaint from the public.
