Another Kill the Bill protest is planned for this Saturday, August 6, as activists call on the courts to drop the charges against those convicted after a previous protest turned violent. Avon and Somerset Police have told Bristol Live they are looking to engage with the organisers of the upcoming protest to ensure it is 'peaceful and lawful'.
So far, 19 people have been jailed after clashes broke out between police and protesters during a demonstration on March 21, 2021. Protesters were demonstrating against the controversial Police, Crime Sentencing and Courts Bill.
Campaigners feel the controversial Bill will limit the right to protest. Saturday's demonstration is to protest against the prison sentences that the 19 people have received.
