Police banning protest against #King as #arrest threatened in Windsor

Anti-monarchist activists have said they were #threatened with arrests when they planned to #protest a #royal procession in #Windsor on Wednesday

Campaigners said that they were told by #police they faced arrest if they protested near the royal procession, with police citing concerns about the banner and amplified noise.

Officers were also accused of telling #protesters they faced arrest if they heckled the monarch.

Graham Smith, CEO of Republic, said: "#Thames Valley Police have today decided that #protests are essentially #banned. #FreeSpeech is conditional on arbitrary decisions by police inspectors, denying people even the right to heckle public figures.
