Human rights and legal organisations condemn climate protester’s prison sentence

Human rights and legal organisations have condemned the three-month prison sentence imposed on a climate protester today. This is the first time NSW’s 2022 anti-protest laws have been used to jail a peaceful protester.

Alice Drury, acting legal director, Human Rights Law Centre:

The NSW government is on the wrong path. Instead of doing everything it can to mitigate the climate crisis, it is putting its efforts into imprisoning peaceful protester Laura Davy.

These laws are bad for climate activists, and they are bad for democracy in NSW. Yet again, we call on the Minns government to scrap these laws and protect the right to protest.

Katie Green, CEO, Inner City Legal Centre:

The Inner City Legal Centre is extremely concerned about the chilling effect of this sentence upon activists within our community.

Protest has always been a means for our community to achieve meaningful change; the 78’ers, the Aboriginal tent embassy, the Me Too movement and Black Lives Matter are a few examples of protests movements that have achieved significant and positive change in our community.

We will continue to fight for the right to fight for our rights.
