Rejected petition Protect the Right to Protest

The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill proposes to give police extra powers to police protests. This marks a dangerous attempt to stifel freedom of speach and the rights of citizens to protest. We request that these extra powers be removed from the bill.
