Greenpeace UK on Instagram: "Make no mistake - Shabana Mahmood's new police powers to prevent 'repeated protest' only serve to protect the government.
Protest works because it is repetitive! If police had told the Suffragettes or civil rights activists ‘you’ve made your point,’ they would never have won the victories we all enjoy today.
Once we lose our right to protest it becomes INCREDIBLY difficult to get back....
Shabana Mahmood must resist this slide towards authoritarianism.
sign our petition to protect our right to protest now. Link in bio @greenpeaceuk
