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.
