  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    #HumanRightsWatch and Justice say recent legislative changes have had a chilling effect and should be repealed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organisation Justice say recent legislative changes have created a chilling effect on lawful protest and should be repealed.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'."

  11. It is impossible to be #ProPalestinian without donating
    money to the survival of #Gazans.

    If you are a person who has never once given to a Gazan family, circulated a link, asking your friends
    to contribute, I beg you to do so today.

    It is heartbreaking to watch airstrikes, but it’s also painful to see “#supporters”leave Gazans on their own, waiting in limbo,among the rubble.

    Be consistent today.
    Part with a little of your money.
    Be brave today.
    Ask others to do the same.

  19. #NSW #police have dropped all charges against #HannahThomas, who was injured during an arrest at a #ProPalestinian #protest in south-west Sydney.

    Ms Thomas, a former #Greens candidate, was among protesters outside manufacturing facility SEC Plating in June.

    She said it was "far from justice" because four other people are still facing charges in relation to the protest & took aim at anti-protest #laws in NSW, which she said have handed police "sweeping powers". #auspol
