UK (and other places, unfortunately): Political clampdown on right to protest


I read a very chilling article on the Guardian this morning…


We have been experiencing a similar issue in the last weeks in Germany with the protests at Luetzerath, a small village that was condemned to be destroyed in order to extract brown coal, where government members from the Green Party (!) inspected the police shock troops before they cracked down on the environmental protesters. Greta Thunberg was arrested at this protest, which hopefully brought a bit of publicity.


As usual, the American approach might be even worse - the article also mentioned the protester who was possibly assassinated in cold blood by police recently in Georgia.
