LETTERS: EXTINCTION REBELLION'S RIGHT TO PROTEST MUST BE RESPECTED
Campaigners and MPs condemn the ban of Extinction Rebellion across London
The Metropolitan police use of a Section 14 order to ban Extinction Rebellion's protests across London (Report, October 15) is arbitrary and unprecedented, and represents a serious attack on the right to protest. This right is a basic civil liberty which must be respected at all times.
As people who have organised and participated in a wide range of protests and demonstrations, we call on the Metropolitan police to withdraw the ban immediately, and to respect the long-held right to peaceful protest.
