Protesters held up blank signs and banners during a demonstration in Edinburgh, Scotland on Tuesday to protest a perceived crackdown on free speech amid reported arrests of anti-monarchy protesters during the processions carrying Queen Elizabeth II’s casket throughout the capital on Sunday and Monday.

Scottish police said they made three arrests in Edinburgh on those days. A 22-year-old woman, who had been pictured holding an anti-monarchy sign, and a 74-year-old man were arrested separately on Sunday and charged with “breaching the peace.”

“People have been arrested for peacefully holding up signs with anti-monarchy views,” one protester said. “So my sign is blank today. But if it said a message that was against the monarchy, judging by the last few days, we could be arrested.”

Video posted to social media on Monday also showed a man who appeared to have heckled Prince Andrew during the procession of the queen’s coffin along Edinburgh’s Royal Mile being pushed to the ground as police pulled him away.
