POLICE breached fundamental rights at the vigil for Sarah Everard and Kill the Bill (KTB) protests, a parliamentary inquiry has found.
There were multiple failings by the Metropolitan Police in their handling of events at London’s Clapham Common and Avon & Somerset Police in Bristol in March, according to the all-party parliamentary group on democracy and the constitution.
The group of MPs and peers has proposed amendments to the Police, Crime, Sentencing & Courts Bill, which will be debated on Monday.
Inquiry chairman Geraint Davies said the right to peaceful protest “must be supported, not suppressed, by the law.”
The Labour MP said: “The police must not become the enforcement agency of the state against those who choose to publicly and collectively call for change political, economic, social or environmental.
