No one should be afraid of arrest during peaceful protests. I've been involved in many of such cases in the past. The police has never defeated us in court. Their usual bogus charges are meaningless to me. The courts have always resisted attempts to criminalize peaceful protests.
Section 39 and 40 of the Constitution guarantees freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly. By virtue of Section 94(4) of the Electoral Act (as amended in 2015), the role of the police during political rallies and procession is limited to provision of security.
The court has ruled that the #RevolutionNow protest is legal and lawful. Even where the police concocts non-existent intelligence report that "hoodlums will hijack the protest", they are not empowered to stop the protest. They are only to be there to protect the protesters.
