The Offensive Behaviour at Football Bill, or what became known as the Anti-Sectarian Bill, aimed to reduce offensive sectarian behaviour at football matches by allowing a charge that could see somebody imprisoned for up to five years for such behaviour or for offensive blogging online. Take a Liberty (Scotland) oppose this Bill that will potentially be passed later this year, and sent a letter of opposition to the Scottish Parliament expressing their concerns.
