New law would charge protesters with terrorism, campaigners warn
Original: URGENT: new law would charge protesters with terrorism
Campaigners are raising the alarm over a proposed law that would allow protest activity to be prosecuted as terrorism. A petition drive warns the measure would criminalise demonstrators and chill legitimate dissent. Details about which country or legislature is behind the bill, its current status, and its backers were not specified in the call to action.
Why now: Civil liberties groups are mobilising opposition to legislation they see as an unprecedented crackdown on the right to protest.
