Article 11 Trust

"OSCE report calls for end of harassment and intimidation of legal observers". The Article 11 Trust responds to the launch of “The Right to Monitor Assemblies in the OSCE Region: Experiences from the Field” published today by @osce_odihr article11trust.org.uk/osce-report-le…

Join us on Monday 16 June in Parliament where one of our trustees will share key findings from "This is Repression" - our state of protest policing report. More details here: bit.ly/3FabQFw

The pre-emptive arrest of the Reclaim the Power crew is a deeply concerning violation of article 11 rights. The police have a duty to facilitate peaceful assembly; they have completely failed to do their job and facilitate protest. All charges must be dropped immediately.

The Article 11 Trust welcomes today's publication of the @netpol report - which we funded - on the policing of pro-Palestine protests and the impact on rights to freedom of assembly. What the report sets out is deeply concerning and we urge you to download and read it

The Article 11 Trust welcomes the comments of UN Special Rapporteur Ian Fry, who says he is concerned about “the exercise of their rights to freedom of expression and freedom of peaceful assembly and association” in the UK. We concur. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

This is an interference with article 11 rights of ➡️freedom of peaceful assembly and to ➡️freedom of association.
