5-7pm in Victoria Tower Gardens, Westminster

(adjacent to Lambeth Bridge north side)

On Wednesday 8 December, the House of Lords will begin amending the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill. Join the protest at 5-7pm in Victoria Tower Gardens, Westminster (adjacent to Lambeth Bridge north side). Home Secretary Priti Patel has added 18 pages of additional offenses with sentences of up to 51 weeks in jail for actions which include ‘locking on’ to another person or object, being equipped for protest, and obstructing major transport works. She also plans to expand Stop and Search powers.

CND is part of a coalition of organisations objecting to the extension of powers in this Bill which will curb the right to demonstrate. Support the protest if you can, and visit Liberty and Campaign Against Climate Change for more details about what you can do.
