A PEACE campaigner who was arrested for expressing republican views has warned that meaningful debate over the future of the monarchy is being silenced. 

Peace Pledge Union campaigner Symon Hill was handcuffed and dragged into a police van by officers after shouting “who elected him?” at the proclamation of King Charles III in Oxford just over a week ago. 

His arrest was one of several police actions against anti-monarchy protests following the Queen’s death.
