Representatives of the coalition organising the national Palestine marches, along with MPs and civil liberties organisations, will hold a press conference on Wednesday in Parliament to address the growing attacks on the right to protest.

It comes the day after the Home Affairs Select Committee made a number of recommendations that would further limit the right to peaceful protest, and a week after the disgraceful scenes in Parliament where the speaker abandoned normal protocol at the same time as House of Commons security prevented people lobbying their MPs.

Among those to address the press conference will be John McDonnell MP, Liberty’s Ruth Ehrlich, and representatives of the six organisations who together organise the Palestine marches.
