The cruelty of these devices cannot be overstated. Iβm proud to say that Iβm one of the 70+ signed this letter, if you are able to, sign it too.
Today is your last chance to add your name to our letter asking MSPs to #BanMosquitos - will you join over 70 others who have stepped up to be a #HumanRightsDefender? β¨

These devices are cruel, often painful and totally unnecessary in Scotland today. I was pleased to sign the letter and glad that @scotyounggreens have too. #HumanRightsDefender

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 π

Delighted is an understatement - we've reached over 60 signatories for our letter asking MSPs to #BanMosquitos! Reaching 100 before we send it on the 14th would send a powerful message to decision-makers. Have you signed and shared? π¦π«

Weβre very fortunate in @argyllandbute that no devices have been reported in years. I have added my name to this letter to ensure it stays that way. β at Lochgilphead, Scotland

Myself, @fifidyer and @CYCJScotland have signed this letter.
Banning these devices is on way that Scotland can keep #ThePromise and adhere to #UNCRC

Letβs support the banning of these devices. They are indiscriminate in terms of the targeting all young people under age of 25. Not a good look Scotland in the week that the announcement we as a country will embed the UNCRC into law. Happy to add my signature to this letter.

Can you imagine hearing a loud, painful high pitched noise as you try to enter a shop, that only people your age can hear?
That's the reality of mosquito devices, and @BanDevices are campaigning to ban them completely.
Let me know if you want to sign the letter in support! βοΈ

Some good news to start the day - the headteacher of Bo'ness Academy has confirmed that the Mosquito device stationed there will be permanently removed! Good to see swift action from the school. Let's keep being loud until Mosquitos are banned everywhereβ¨

2 years ago, I sent an FOI Request to @falkirkcouncil asking if they owned any Mosquitos, after hearing one at my school. They said they own 0.
Now, we believe this was false.
Mosquitos are designed to prevent young people gathering. How can you stop us gathering in a SCHOOL?
More than one person has identified what appears to be a Mosquito device at @Boness_Academy in Falkirk (pictured). However, when sent an FOI request by @PossiblyKit in 2017, the Council denied using any.
@FalkirkCouncil can you explain this?
