#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 repealedby Haroon Siddique
Thu 8 Jan 2026"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organisation Justice say recent legislative changes have created a chilling effect on lawful protest and should be repealed.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'."

Why is violence against #EnvironmentalDefenders getting worse? Five things to know
Maxwell Radwin
11 Sep 2024"In January 2023, two men mysteriously disappear after speaking out against pollution from a controversial iron ore mine in Michoacán, Mexico.
"The following March, climate change protesters in Austria and Germany are beaten and pepper sprayed, and some have their homes raided by law enforcement.
"In September, a pair of youth environmental advocates are abducted by armed men and interrogated for days about their work fighting construction of a new airport in the Philippines.
"All across the world, environmental defenders continue to experience censorship, threats, physical attacks, kidnappings, disappearances and even death because of their work fighting climate change, deforestation, pollution and other environmental issues.
"Since the adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015, more than 1,500 environmental defenders have been killed for their work, according to Global Witness, a human rights and environmental NGO. The figures for 2023 look like more of the same. At least 196 people were killed last year defending the environment, up from 177 in 2022. And those figures are considered a low-end estimate."

30 years of Critical Mass
The ride has continued unabated over the years, and participants have come and gone. Its structurelessness is both a boon and a millstone.

#JustStopOil #protesters arrested after 10 minutes under UK’s ‘repressive’ new #AntiProtestLaws
The #UK is following in other #European countries footsteps with new powers to break up the #climate group's slow marches.
By Euronews Green
Published on 31/10/2023"More than 60 #CimateActivists have been arrested in #London under the UK’s 'repressive' new anti-protest laws.
"Just Stop Oil protesters were taking part in a ‘slow march’ around Parliament Square yesterday morning (30 October), demanding an end to new #oil and #gas licenses.
"Within 10 minutes, Metropolitan police arrived - blocking their path and forcing activists off the road. When this proved unsuccessful, videos and photos show police kneeling on and handcuffing protesters, before carrying them into vans.
"This is the first time that the Met have made arrests under section 7 of the #PublicOrderAct 2023, which bans any activity that 'interferes with the use or operation of any key national infrastructure in #England and #Wales.'
"It’s part of a wider European crackdown on #DirectAction protests. #France and #Germany have taken an #AntiTerror approach to some #demonstrations; toughening #surveillance and #detention laws and even launching dawn raids on the homes of #LastGeneration members."

"Court grants permission for Liberty legal action against Home Secretary"
...for signing-off anti-protest legislation that was previously rejected by Parliament.

Last week, Suella Braverman signed off a ‘statutory instrument’ to edit protest law. It changed the legal definition of ‘serious disruption’ in the Public Order Act 1986 to mean simply ‘more than minor’.

"Democracy has finally been destroyed by heroic Tories" via @LauraKT
"Finally, the #Tories have amended the #PublicOrderAct 1986 to make #protest super fucking illegal, unless ministers and #police approve of them first … redefining the meaning of disruptive protests to 'anything more than minor'."
The post is satire, but really, I despair of the state of #UKPolitics, its utterly useless so-called opposition, and its lack of interest in #HumanRights

Public Order Bill: Labour REFUSE to back SNP bid to repeal law
LABOUR have refused to support the SNP’s efforts to repeal anti-protest legislation – calling their attempt “a stunt”.
The SNP brought forward a motion to repeal the Public Order Act – which gives police in England sweeping powers to crack down on peaceful protest – but Labour said they would not back it.

This week’s Philosophy Unleashed takes a look at disruption. Both the Public Order Act and erosion of the right to protest in England, and also leavers’ pranks at the end of the school year.

I have to add one more section from the #Monbiot article (really, so good and important), as this a key nexus in how all this works:
"Police and press are two tails of the same beast. The head of media at the Metropolitan police is a former crime reporter at the Daily Mail."
Aaron Thierry (sadly not on here) did a great Twitter thread today showing all this, and also how the #ProtestBill and #PublicOrderAct really were responses to #ClimateEmergency action
