100% of all restrictions on processions across England & Wales are in London. Most limits imposed by police on static assemblies are also in the capital.
The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) has is doing nothing about this. Meanwhile, the crackdown on protests continues – with powers taking away Londoners’ rights whenever it is most convenient to the Metropolitan Police.
All MOPAC advises is that if protesters are unhappy, they can make a complaint through a system that is slow, frustrating and controlled by the police themselves.
Why is a public body charged with scrutiny of the police forcing individuals to shoulder this responsibility and refusing to do anything itself?
That is why we are taking our demands to the London Assembly’s Police and Crime Committee directly.
On Tuesday 24 March at 9.30am, join us at London City Hall, Kamal Chunchie Way, London E16 1ZE
The Metropolitan Police is completely unaccountable for the way it cracks down on protests in London. That doesn’t change unless we take action ourselves. |
