anti-protest laws

Anti-protest laws are regulations that restrict or regulate the right to protest. They may include measures such as permitting requirements for demonstrations, restrictions on the time and place of protests, or penalties for certain types of protest activities, like blocking traffic. Supporters argue these laws maintain public order and safety, while critics claim they infringe on free speech and the right to assemble. The laws vary widely by country or region, reflecting different values regarding civil liberties and government authority.
