The right to protest is under threat in Britain, undermining a pillar of democracy
- For holding a sign outside a courthouse reminding jurors of their right to acquit defendants, a retiree faces up to two years in prison.
- For hanging a banner reading “Just Stop Oil” off a bridge, an engineer got a three-year prison sentence.
- Just for walking slowly down the street, scores of people have been arrested.
They are among hundreds of environmental activists arrested for peaceful demonstrations in the U.K., where tough new laws restrict the right to protest.
