Man arrested after BNP attend Robert Greens protest
Published: 28th Jul 2012 17:15:40
A man has been arrested following a rally in Dalkeith, Midlothian, attended by BNP leader Nick Griffin.
About 30 protesters gathered objecting to the BNP's presence at the demonstration, organised by local residents demanding the rehousing of convicted rapist Robert Greens.
Lothian and Borders Police said a 35-year-old man had been charged with breach of the peace.
He was expected to be released for summons to Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
Robert Greens, 34, was jailed in 2005 for attacking a Dutch student in the grounds of Rosslyn Chapel.
After his release from prison he was rehoused in Midlothian.
Some local people and campaigners have been calling for him to be moved to another location.
Police said an extensive operation was put in place to minimise disorder and maintain public safety during the protest.
