Cardiff has seen many protests in recent times, but some worry possible amendments to the Public Order Bill will only make matters worse.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardiff People\u2019s Assembly Co-convenor, Adam Johannes, is warning that Wales may see a rise in the number of public protests following potential amendments to the Public Order Bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next Monday (23\/01\/2022) the House of Commons will decide if Police will be allowed to intervene before protests become highly disruptive. If the Bill is passed, it will not come into effect immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Conservative Government started work on proposals for the amendments, following the disruptive protests that began in the summer last year by environmental groups such as Just Stop Oil.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Downing Street say that this amendment is needed to \u201cstrike a balance between the rights of individuals and the rights of the hard-working majority to go about their day-to-day business\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tony Bambury from Buckinghamshire said that \u201che\u2019ll never forgive protesters after disruption made him miss his father\u2019s funeral\u201d <\/em>due to protests on the M25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some fear that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak\u2019s belief that \u201cthe right to protest is a fundamental principle of our democracy, but this is not absolute\u201d <\/em>will steer society away from being a liberal democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johannes told CJS News that \u201crestricting people\u2019s right to protest may serve as a catalyst to further demonstrations as talks in Westminster will give campaign groups more publicity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also pointed out that some marginalised groups feel threatened by the Police. The Metropolitan Police have recently been subject to much criticism following behavioural misconduct. It\u2019s possible that vulnerable groups won\u2019t feel as able to protest for change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Law reform and human rights charity, JUSTICE, told CJS News that \u201cthe police already have extensive powers to manage protests and it is completely unnecessary for the Government to create such broad, ill-defined powers that will inevitably be used inconsistently to damaging and discriminatory effect.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
