Anti-protest laws to prevent people using dangerous devices to lock themselves to roads and train lines appear ready to pass this week in Parliament.
A committee of cross-section MPs have approved the Bill, now ready for parliamentary debate.
A number of organisations have raised concerns about the Bill’s justifications, with legal groups saying that the claims that protesters have been using dangerous lock-devices have not been substantiated.
Protests against the law are expected outside Parliament today.
