Anti-police protest staged outside British parliament
Protesters gathered outside the British parliament and the London police headquarters on Tuesday (March 16) for a fourth day of demonstrations against men's violence and heavy-handed policing in the wake of the murder of Londoner Sarah Everard.
Protesters chanted "Sisters united will never be defeated" and held signs reading "Kill the bill" as green and purple flares filled the air.
The demonstrators referred to the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, under which police forces would be able to impose a start and end time for demonstrations, set a noise limit and shut down protests that have a "relevant impact on persons in the vicinity".
The opponents of the bill say it will give police too much power to restrict peaceful protests.
British police faced criticism over clashes with mourners at a vigil on Saturday (March 13) for Everard, 33, who was abducted as she walked home in south London on March 3.
A police officer has been charged with her kidnap and murder, provoking a national debate over how British society deals with male violence against women.
