Repeal restrictions on protest in the Police Crime Sentencing and Courts Act

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

All restrictions on protest introduced in the Act, such as noise limits and application of the rules to one person, should be removed, in line with the House of Lords' ruling

The House of Lords had already vetoed the restrictions on protest due to their draconian nature, however they have been reintroduced and passed anyways. This underhand introduction is wholly inappropriate. Previous legislation regarding protests were sufficient to allow for protest while respecting the need for public safety.
