Remove further restrictions on protest from the new crime bill.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Remove any further restrictions on people's right to protest from the crime bill including:
-Time limits on protests
-Maximum noise level of protests

The right to protest is one of our fundamental rights in a free country.

Protest allows people to voice their concerns in a non-violent way.

Disruption has and will continue to be a side effect of protest, one that is a reasonable compromise for a free and civil debate.

Any attempts to further crack down on people's rights to do so is a worrying attack on our freedoms, liberties and democracy.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Do not restrict our rights to peaceful protest.
