Text
While I understand that the PSNI also requires mutual aid to come here on occasion, the sight of the PSNI being used to arrest peaceful protesters in London at the weekend has given rise to deep concern. That is especially so given that senior members of the Conservative and Labour parties are talking of increasing draconian measures against protesters in Britain and possibly here. I understand what the Minister said, but can she give her view on any further proposed legislation to attack the right to peaceful protest, especially by rolling back human rights safeguards, which was discussed by both parties in the media over the weekend?
