The Right to Protest: A New Campaign Shakes the UK

In this episode of UK Business Morning, Alice and Lewis delve into a nationwide campaign launched by four major environmental and human rights organizations to defend the right to protest. The campaign, backed by groups like Amnesty International, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, and Liberty, uses digital billboards in major cities like London, Birmingham, and Manchester. With a creative approach involving virtual protests and digital special effects, the campaign highlights the importance of protest in a democracy. Alice and Lewis discuss the implications of rising arrests for protest-related offenses and the push for the government to reverse anti-protest measures. They also speak about the diverse causes represented, including disability rights, climate change, and more, and the role of digital billboards in amplifying these voices.
