Protests Series: Protests in the UK with Katy Watts

In this episode, Lara Zand speaks with Katy Watts, a human rights lawyer at Liberty, a civil liberties group in the UK. They discuss political attacks on protest, recent influential judgments that will be particularly significant for collective action in the UK going forward, and Liberty’s case against the Home Secretary, which Katy leads.

Liberty has since been successful in their challenge against the Home Secretary, with the High Court ruling that the introduction of police powers to impose conditions on protests causing ‘more than minor’ disruption was unlawful.
