Fears over right to protest after woman with sign at climate trial prosecuted
Civil liberty campaigners have warned that the prosecution of a woman for holding up a placard about the rights of jurors outside a court is part of the government’s increasing attacks on the right to protest.
Liberty said the decision to prosecute Trudi Warner, 68, for contempt of court for sitting outside a London trial holding up a sign was “concerning”.
Sam Grant, advocacy director of Liberty, called on ministers to reverse the restrictions on protest which are contained in recent legislation – in the Policing Act and Public order Act – and commit to protecting the right to protest.

Very sad. That's backwardness. The rights of activists matters too.

I believe that climate change protestors and advocates should be protected and given space to air their views ... this is a shame on the UK's authorities
