Defend the right to protest: Palestine, Islamaphobia and Civil Liberties

The recent cycle of demonstrations calling for a ceasefire in Gaza have seen record numbers of people protesting. Government attempts to demonise the huge marches for peace as threatening ‘hate marches’ have failed to stop thousands from pouring onto the streets each week.
Although the marches are entirely peaceful the police have been out in record numbers, have attempted to intimidate protestors and have arrested a number of individuals on spurious grounds. Along with their political overlords the police have placed restrictions on the marches wherever possible.
