London London has become the first city to prohibit the global environmental movement Extinction Rebellion from staging protests, in a move condemned by legal observers and campaigners as a massive"overreach."
"There have been draconian policing methods e.g. Brisbane, and water cannons and violence used by police in Belgium. But this is the first ban," Zion Lights, an Extinction Rebellion spokeswoman, told CNN by text message."We are worried by this erosion of democracy while the real criminals continue to destroy the health of our planet," she added.Police officers deployed around Trafalgar Square after the Extinction Rebellion protest camp was cleared overnight.

Many activists returned to Trafalgar Square in defiance of the ban and the group said it would be pursuing legal action against the police force's decision.The movement's co-founder, Gail Bradbrook, staged a demonstration at the UK Department of Transport, climbing atop the entrance as other activists glued themselves to the building below.

For us, that is deeply problematic, because it is a massive extension of what Section 14 was meant to be used for," Blowe said.
