Mum and son 'threatened with social services' by police officer after attending Sarah Everard vigil in Liverpool #FreedomToProtest liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool…
Threats to set social services onto women protesters with children, or report disabled protesters to the Department for Work & Pensions, were reported to us many times by the anti-fracking movement. These were all attempts to disrupt their campaigns

As the government seeks to push through new draconian public order laws, thousands of people are demanding a fundamental change. So what does our Charter for Freedom of Assembly Rights actually say? netpol.org/2021/03/15/tho… #FreedomToProtest 
1. Public assemblies need not only facilitation, but also protection
2. Public assemblies need protection based on equality and non-discrimination
As over 100,000 people sign our petition opposing The Police, Crime and Sentencing Bill, convincing a Tory government with an 80-seat majority is tough. That’s why Netpol is also making equally tough demands on @PoliceChiefs who lobbied for new legislation netpol.org/2021/03/15/tho…
We need to #KillTheBill but we need more. We've two simple demands on the police. Either set out what "respecting international human rights standards" for policing protests means in practice or say why you won't. Enough guessing what restrictions you'll impose on our rights next
Netpol spent many years attempting, with the support in particular of @TheGreenParty MEP Keith Taylor, to put pressure on senior officers to complete a review into the way the policing of anti-fracking protests was conducted theguardian.com/environment/20… #FreedomToProtest
The government has just announced new legislation restricting #FreedomToProtest. The Police, Crime and Sentencing bill introduces a raft of repressive changes + buried in it are new powers for policing protests

This vindictive piece of legislation comes from Priti Patel's fury over the Black Lives Matter uprisings, +the struggle to police XR protests. These new police powers will affect all of our movements.

Protests are disruptive. That's the POINT of them. But proposed changes to the law make it an offence to cause "annoyance" or "inconvenience". That's most forms of public protest actions.....
