Palestine Coalition condemn government plans to expand repressive police powers on protests

ORGANISERS of the Palestine solidarity demonstrations have condemned the government’s plans to expand repressive police powers to restrict protest rights.

The Home Office announced on Thursday that police would be given greater powers under the Crime and Police Bill to stop protests near places of worship to prevent “intimidation.”

Climbing on war memorials is also set to become a criminal offence.
