  1. #RightToProtest is under attack in #England and #Wales, reports warn
    #HumanRightsWatch and Justice say recent legislative changes have had a chilling effect and should be repealed

    "The right to protest is under attack in England and Wales with laws trampling over human rights protections and more oppressive restrictions in the pipeline, two major reports have warned.

    "Both Human Rights Watch and the cross-party law reform organisation Justice say recent legislative changes have created a chilling effect on lawful protest and should be repealed. Their reports, simultaneously published on Thursday, also say that proposals for more curbs should be halted.

    "They highlight the arrest of Republic #AntiMonarchy protesters during King Charles’s coronation, charges and arrests of #ProPalestinian demonstrators and long sentences for #ClimateProtesters as examples of the crackdown on the right to peaceful dissent.

    "Fiona Rutherford, chief executive of Justice, said: 'Year by year, we see police powers grow, as our fundamental right to protest is treated more like a privilege. The law in this area has become dangerously unbalanced, empowering the state to silence voices it should be safeguarding. Reversing this trend is essential to restoring trust, protecting rights and preserving a healthy democracy.'

    "Lydia Gall, a senior Europe and Central Asia researcher at Human Rights Watch, said: 'The UK is now adopting protest-control tactics imposed in countries where democratic safeguards are collapsing. The UK should oppose such measures, not replicate and endorse them.'

    "Both reports say that the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 and the #PublicOrderAct 2023 were watershed moments, criminalising large amounts of previously lawful protest activity and placing a greater emphasis on preemptive containment of protest through criminal law.

    The 2022 law granted police authority to impose conditions on public assemblies on grounds such as causing 'serious unease' or being 'too noisy', described by Human Rights Watch as 'vague and subjective'.

    "Members of the public can be arrested for carrying items – described as innocuous by Justice – including cable ties, bike locks or glue, on suspicion that they may be used for 'locking‑on'."

  7. #UKGovernment admits new #OilField approved unlawfully

    James Cook
    BBC Scotland editor
    November 13, 2024

    "The UK government has admitted in court that the country's largest untapped oilfield, #Rosebank off #Shetland, was approved unlawfully.

    "The move came during a case brought by #ClimateCampaigners against both Rosebank and the #JackdaGasField in the #NorthSea.

    "At the Court of Session in Edinburgh Chris Pirie KC, for the government, accepted that assessments did not include 'the effects on climate of the combustion of oil and gas to be extracted from the fields.'

    "Rosebank was given the green light on 27 September 2023 and Jackdaw on 1 June 2022, both by the previous #Conservative administration.

    "As part of the consenting process, the government was required to consider #EnvironmentalImpact assessments about the fields.

    "These took into account the impact on #ClimateChange of emissions caused by the process of extracting oil and gas but not of #GreenhouseGases which would be released when the #FossilFuels were eventually burned."

    [...]

    "The firms involved β€” #Shell, #Equinor, and #IthacaEnergy β€” say they should be allowed to carry on with drilling because permission was granted in good faith under the law as it was understood at the time."

  8. And how much economic damage is from climate change and pollution from #FossilFuels? #BigOil is the real criminal here!

    #ClimateProtesters are taking action against Big Oil. UK courts are handing them prison terms akin to rapists and thieves

    By Kara Fox, CNN
    September 14, 2024

    London CNN β€” "As #RightWing rioters attacked communities with #racist violence across parts of the UK last month, 22-year-old #ClimateActivist #CressieGethin sat in a prison cell.

    "Her crime? Organizing a disruptive protest against new government-granted licenses to drill for oil β€” a planet-heating #FossilFuel β€” in the #NorthSea.

    "In late July, a London court found #Gethin and four other members of the #JustStopOil activist group guilty of 'conspiring intentionally to cause a #PublicNuisance,' after recruiting protesters to climb structures along the M25 β€” a major ring road around London β€” bringing traffic to a standstill in parts over four days in November 2022.

    "Prosecutors alleged that the protests, organized over a #ZoomCall, disrupted more than 700,000 drivers, caused economic damage of over Β£760,000 ($980,000) and racked up Β£1 million ($1.3m) in policing costs.

    "Now Gethin and three others β€” Louise Lancaster, #DanielShaw and #LuciaWhittakerDeAbreu, who planned the disruption on the call β€” are serving four-year jail terms, while Just Stop Oil co-founder #RogerHallam was given five years. All are appealing.

    "The sentences are believed to be the longest in the UK’s history for #nonviolent protest and were delivered under two new controversial laws that supercharged #policing powers to crack down on disruptive protests, even when they are peaceful.

    "They place the act of planning a 'public nuisance' event, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, on a similar footing as #ViolentCrimes like robbery, for which punishments range from community service to 12 years’ jail, or rape, which is four to 19 years.

    "The judge β€” who in court referred to the activists as '#extremists' β€” justified the long jail terms because all five activists had previously been convicted of one or more offenses in relation to direct action protest. Each were on bail for another set of proceedings when the Zoom call took place. He also noted people missed important doctor’s visits and funerals because of the protest.

    "But activists like Gethin say their demonstrations are proportionate to the problem at hand β€” a rapidly warming world that threatens to transform life as we know it, through deadly #ExtremeWeather events and by pushing #ecosystems to their brinks. They are now battling the bolstered powers of the #police and courts to get their point across.

    β€œ'A very harsh sentence like this doesn’t make sense morally or legally β€” but it does make sense politically,' Gethin told CNN in a handwritten letter from HMP Bronzefield, a women’s prison just south of London’s Heathrow Airport.

    "The laws have drawn criticism from the UN’s special rapporteur on #EnvironmentalDefenders, #MichaelForst, who said not only do they criminalize peaceful protest, but they are being enforced in 'punitive and repressive' ways."

    Kay tries to pit Rupert against Zoe but the two band together to condemn big oil bought politicians for criminal climate inaction as hundreds of thousands have died and 1billion more people are set to become climate displaced within the next 7 years.
