When demonstrating remains legal but comes at a price
Original: When the right to protest remains, but demonstrating comes at a price
A report highlights how, in many countries, the right to protest formally exists in law, yet people who take to the streets face growing costs: arrests, surveillance, heavy police presence, job consequences and legal harassment. The piece argues that governments are eroding protest in practice while preserving it on paper, raising concern among human rights advocates about shrinking civic space worldwide.
Why now: Concerns are growing globally that governments are restricting protests in practice despite constitutional protections.
