Abstract

The freedom to protest is one of the fundamental rights in a liberal democracy. But a series of public order laws passed by Parliament in recent years have made the right to protest increasingly hard to exercise. With a Labour government unlikely to overturn these laws, Conor Gearty argues that the future of protest depends on smarter and new ways of mass action against state power.
