Brad Adams (Climate Rights International) on the growing hypocrisy of rich governments on the right to protest:
'Governments too often take such a strong & principled view about the right to peaceful protest in other countries – but when they don’t like certain kinds of protests at home they pass laws & deploy the police to stop them'!
Its easier to defend the right to protest at a distance... but then again, the West hypocrisy has a long history!
