Shafaqna English- Amnesty International has called to protect the right to protest in Europe, warning that the right of peaceful assembly is coming under severe attack.
In a report published yesterday (10 July 2024), the rights watchdog revealed a continent-wide pattern of repressive laws, use of unnecessary or excessive force, arbitrary arrests and prosecutions, unwarranted or discriminatory restrictions as well as the increasing use of invasive surveillance technology, resulting in a systematic roll back of the right to protest.
