    1. We are being supported by counter-terrorism policing and working under the direction of the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service.
    2. I want to send a clear ‌message of support to all our communities that ⁠there ⁠is no place for racism or faith-based hate in a Scotland which is at its best when we stand together.
