Demonstrators and activists will take to central London this weekend, in what has become a regular occurrence on the streets of the capital in recent months.
Multiple events are taking place this weekend, including a fundraising event for Sudan and a vigil for child hostages.
According to Amnesty International: “The UK’s fundamental rights to peaceful protest are rapidly disappearing as police forces begin to use the vast range of new anti-protest powers.” However, some Brits continue to mobilise whenever they can, in vast numbers, to raise awareness of crucial issues.
Here’s what you need to know about the actions and demonstrations scheduled for London this weekend.
