G20 Citizens Voices Quashed by UK Government
Loading...
Uploaded by G20voice on Apr 1, 2009
I am here at the Bank of England in London, where ordinary people and civil society organisations have gathered as an organised form of citizen expression. However, I am extremely disheartened by what I see - a clear contravention of the right to assembly and freedom of expression. As was the case at Saturday's Put People First rally, the police and UK Government security services are not allowing people to enter their chosen point of assembly and people are being barricaded in and stopped from entering the zone. When I ask the police officers why we cannot enter, they say it is for safety so that people do not get squashed. However there is clearly lots of space and the police are using this to stop the citizens from organising peaceful demonstrations and from standing together. I was in Wall Street the day before the US government bail out in October - and thousands of those who gathered in protest were not stopped as they are here in the UK. What is happening to our civil liberties? At this time of crises we should uphold human values and rights and cling even closer to these inalienable truths. By denying these rights, the UK government are turning their back on human rights and the voices of their citizens. Very worrying indeed.......

Yes, an Act makes it law. The police also have the right to assemble and the law abiding public have a right to go about their lawful business (including protest) without being caught up in the violence of a few individuals.

seems it breaches Human Rights , right to assemble as this video also mentions
Stand up for humans , what are you scared of , why are you sounding lame and supporting oppression

They still have as much right to be there and occupying the space they are in. Its the protesters acting unlawfully by creating a disturbance.
