Amazing how many people think it is fine to have the government tell them what the can and can’t say. Actually not amazing, sad and pathetic seems more appropriate.

🇬🇧 This arbitrary arrest is a clear violation of several human rights: freedom of peaceful assembly, freedom of expression, freedom of political participation, equality before the law, rule of law, separation of powers, elected democracy. Shameful police abuse!
