1,000+ people protested against the Government's controversial proposed Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill at Devonshire Green in Sheffield.
The proposed Bill includes proposals that would give police and the Home Secretary increased powers to stop protests on grounds of “serious annoyance or inconvenience” which if you’re a government minister could mean all of them.
It’s a serious erosion of civil liberties and democratic rights.

Ha pasado un mes desde que fue cerrado por el Gobierno el canal más antiguo e importante del país, la prensa esta cada día más condicionada por el riesgo de sufrir sanciones y el Premio Nacional de Periodismo se entrega en un salon bañado de rojo a comunicadores que más bien cumplen funciones de alabar en vez de informar...
Lo antes era una fecha para celebrar hoy se ha convertido en un día de protestas

Studio Total, a Swedish marketing and advertising agency, arranged an airdrop of 800 teddy bears with protest slogans in support of freedom of speech in Belarus. Alexander Lukashenko, the Belarusian president, in desperation, fired two top generals and the minister of foreign affairs in response. Studio Total used “Teddy Bear Airdrop Minsk” to expose the lack of free speech in Belarus.

**About 50 of us braved the snow and wind to protest for an hour in front of the Chinese Consulate General today at 1pm.
Chinese artist , Ai Weiwei, has been missing for more than 1 month without any official charges from the Chinese government. An international silent protest called "1001 Chairs for Ai Weiwei" was planned in hope of putting pressure on governments around the world to ask the People's Republic of China to release Ai Weiwei immediately.
