Protest defends freedom of speech
Trafalgar Square, London. Tue 15 Oct 2019
A small group of mainly Green Party protesters had gathered in Trafalgar
Square to protest for freedom of speech
Among them was Sian Berry, co-leader of the Green Party
They formed a group at the bottom of the steps
at right are Rupert Read of XR and peace activist Angie Zelter
I recognised several of the others as Green MEPs
They walked slowly across Trafalgar Square carrying posters. Molly
Scott Cato's reads 'Peaceful Protest Is A Human Right'
They walked toward the line of police in front of Nelson's Column
then turned and walked back
Sian Berry and Extinction Rebellion spokesperson Rupert Read
Sians poster asks 'Mayor Khan Was This On Your Orders?' (it seems
it wasn't)
