"JK Rowling Escapes Arrest Under Scottish Hate Law Despite Challenge"

J.K. Rowling challenged Scotland's new hate speech law, but police have declared they will not prosecute her for her online speech about transgender identity. The law, which warns against acts that "stir up hatred" against certain protected characteristics, has sparked controversy. Rowling welcomed the decision and vowed to stand up for women's rights, while others, including the UK prime minister, have criticized the law for potentially infringing on free speech.
