Protesters arrested
SEVEN people were arrested in Bristol after demonstrations were held across England on Saturday against plans to increase police powers.
Despite the Covid-19 lockdown, thousands marched in towns and cities in protest against the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill.
The proposed legislation would give police in England and Wales more powers to impose conditions on non-violent protests – including those deemed too noisy or a nuisance, with those convicted liable to fines or jail terms.
