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.

Todas las dictaduras han visto a un simple lápiz como una poderosa arma, capaz de dar a conocer sus abusos y atrocidades. Periodistas, escritores, poetas, rivales políticos, ciudadanos y últimamente dibujantes, por diferentes partes del mundo, han sufrido su falta de respeto con la vidas de los demás, y las diferentes maneras de pensar. Por otro lado, los que respetamos la variedad de ideologías y creencias, debemos recordar que la libertad de expresión, no se debe transformar en la libertad de ofender.
All dictatorships have seen a simple pencil as a powerful weapon, capable of making known their abuses and atrocities. Journalists, writers, poets, political rivals, while citizens and artists, for different parts of the world have suffered disrespect to the lives of others, and different ways of thinking. On the other hand, we respect the variety of ideologies and beliefs, we must remember that freedom of expression should not be transformed into the freedom to offend.

UBC STUDENTS FOR FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

ROJ TV was awarded the Gladsaxe Freedom of Speech Price 1th May 2011. The rationale was that ROJ TV shows special courage to keep on sending Kurdish news and culture, though they are threatened on the lives of both Turkey and the USA. As part of the promotion of the former Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, as NATO Secretary General, the Danish state raised a case in court to get ROJ TV closed. This happens even though the Danish Radio and TV Board three times previously acquitted ROJ TV for all charges of breaking the law.

Nach Angaben der Veranstalter nehmen rund 40.000 Menschen am 23.03.2019 an einer Demonstration durch Berlins Mitte gegen die geplante Reform des Urheberrechts auf europäischer Ebene teil.
Der Demonstrationszug passiert auf seiner Route den Sitz von Wikimedia ebenso, wie die Bundeszentrale der SPD. Aufgrund der großen Teilnehmerzahl muss die Strecke verlängert werden und endet nun am Brandenburger Tor, nachdem sie die Vertretung der Europäischen Kommission passiert hat.
Hauptkritikpunkt ist der der geplante Artikel 13 der Reform, der Internetanbieter verpflichtet, urheberrechtlich geschützte, nicht lizensierte Inhalte zu entfernen. Die Protestierenden befürchten, dass dies mittels Uploadfiltern geschieht, die einerseits technich unvollkommen sind, andererseits auch gezielt zur Zensur von Inhalten genutzt werden könnnten.
Zeitgleich finden in zahlreichen Städten in Europa vergleichbare Proteste statt.
