The Public Order Act 2023 has received a lot of attention for the impact it will have on activists in England and Wales. This guide is designed to help you understand the law as it is written.
It is hard to know exactly how the measures will impact protesters until more time has passed.
If you are arrested or threatened with arrest under any section covered here, please let Green & Black Cross know by calling the Protest Support Line on 07946 541511 so they can better understand how these changes are being used.
PLEASE NOTE: At the time of writing, a chunk of the Act is not yet in force, meaning it cannot be used unless and until it is ‘commenced’ in Parliament.
Green & Black Cross said; “We’ve noted this next to each heading where it applies, and will try to update the guide as this changes. To be sure if this has changed when you’re reading this, visit the legislation website.
In a response to the latest inspection of Brixton Prison, prison reform charity the Howard League have criticised the prison for locking men up "for hours on end’ in ‘dirty overcrowded cells’.
Justice secretary Shabana Mahmood has set out major plans to slash the number of women going to jail and ultimately close women’s prisons amid an overcrowding crisis.
All the performers at this community event will be young people from Birmingham who want to show their appreciation of Dr Benjamin Zephaniah through music and dance.
