The proposals have sparked ‘Kill the Bill’ protests across the UK - Reuters
MPs have voted for “draconian” protest laws in spite of mounting warnings over human rights and questions over whether police want or need the powers.
A bill backed by the House of Commons would allow police to impose restrictions on protests based on noise and ban demonstrations by a single person.
It would also create a criminal offence of “public nuisance”, lower the bar for prosecuting people who violate conditions and increase maximum prison sentences to a year.
