Robert Green, a prospective Parliamentary candidate who was prevented from entering Aberdeen due to bail conditions that were imposed upon him following an earlier arrest, has asked the electoral commission to investigate his case, claiming his “unusual and probably unique” circumstances have never before arisen in Parliamentary history.

He has asked for the constituency election to be re-run as a consequence of his hustings ban, which he says prevented him from placing the main issue upon which he was standing before the electorate.

Green, who stood as a member of Scotland Against Crooked Lawyers, represents the mother of Hollie Greig, a 30-year-old woman with Down’s syndrome who says she was sexually assaulted by a sheriff and a senior Grampian Police officer, who is now dead.

“On 20th April the Returning Officer formally accepted my candidature, there being no objections. I thence applied to Stonehaven Sheriff Court for a temporary variation on my bail conditions to allow me free access to the constituency for the period running up to and including election day,” the letter reads.

“This was heard in camera at the court before Sheriff Davies on 30th April. My application was refused by the Sheriff on two grounds, first that I did not belong to, to quote the Sheriff, “a proper professional party”, despite the SACL for which I stood being a properly constituted and recognised political party, and secondly that my appearance on the streets of Aberdeen South might lead to civil unrest.

“Not only do I believe that the Sheriff was incorrect, but it is also my understanding hat when my nomination was properly received on 20 April the law is that I should have been allowed free, unfettered access to the constituency for the election period, overruling any other legal constraints.”

Green’s local MP David Mowat has already written to the Chief Constable of Grampian Police asking for an explanation for the “unusual action” of raiding Green’s home whilst he was detained on the campaign trail.
