‘The recent Crime and Policing Act 2026 (the Act) introduces further restrictive measures affecting protest in the UK. This Act adds to a growing body of legislation governing an individual’s ability to peacefully protest, by creating new offences and expanding police powers, while building on measures introduced by the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022, the Public Order Act 1986, and the Public Order Act 2023. Within the context of Articles 10 and 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), such measures call into question the pattern of an increasingly restrictive approach to protest rights in the UK.’
