Just on my way to #SYP68. Have been following on social media and been so impressed with the positivity and energy from @OfficialSYP MSYPs over the last couple of days. Looking forward to seeing it in person.

Note to the cynics: cops on duty outside Holyrood parliament tell me ‘if only every demonstration was this well organised and good natured we’d be happy’ #SchoolsStrike4Climate #FridaysForFurture

[The Scotsman @TheScotsman]

Scottish Youth Parliament member Kit McCarthy, who has autism, said for him the effect of the noise emitted is “horrific”.

The Scottish Youth Parliament wants the devices, that are used to deter anti-social behaviour among young people, banned.

Successes in @ScotParl today: They will assist SYP by referencing Ireland's Ministry of Justice position that mosquito devices constitute "assault", and the views of @coe and @UNHumanRights, when they write to @scotgov about our campaign! Well done @KitMSYP 👏

[Scottish Youth Parliament @OfficialSYP]

🗣️"We want the issue to be reframed from a trade issue to a health, justice and an equalities issue and therefore believe that @scotgov does have competence to legislate" @KitMSYP on the ban of mosquito devices in @ScotParl

[Scottish Youth Parliament @OfficialSYP]

🗣️ "Anti-social behaviour is not a justification for the use of the mosquito device which breaches 4 separate rights under the European Convention. SYP favours a mature response to anti-social behaviour including improved youth work and improved community policing" 👏 @KitMSYP

[Scottish Youth Parliament @OfficialSYP]

.@KitMSYP preparing to go live on @BBCRadioScot to talk about our campaign to ban the use of mosquito devices in Scotland! AKA exploring the TV studio...Stay tuned to hear about this important children and young people’s rights issue! 📻 #SYPrights

[Gary Robertson @BBCGaryR]

Anti-loitering devices called mosquitoes should be banned according to @OfficialSYP
Members taking a petition to Holyrood. The devices emit high pitched sound only heard by under 25s. It's claimed they discriminate against teenagers and young adults.

@KitMSYP @alisonthewliss Great you’re raising this issue. I’m concerned about it too.
