Safeguarding democracy: Civil liberties and the right to protest in the UK
The right to protest is at the core of our democracy. However, with our politics becoming increasingly polarised, there are increasing tensions between maintaining security and preserving civil liberties.
At this event, our panel will explore how we can manage this balance, considering:
-How can we defend the right to protest and freedom of expression in a more polarised climate?
-What role do Parliament, the courts and civil society play in safeguarding democratic freedoms?
-What role do the European Convention on Human Rights and the judiciary play in safeguarding democratic space?
-How can we rebuild democratic trust at a time of deep political and social division?
