Congratulations to @libertyhq & all who believe in the democratic right to freedom of expression & assembly. @metpoliceuk has routinely used repressive powers to impose restrictions on protests rights #DefendTheRightToProtest
🚨BREAKING🚨 WE’VE WON OUR CASE TO #DefendDemocracy The Court of Appeal has ruled that anti-protest laws which completely ignored the will of Parliament are unlawful
