FOND OF PROTEST? YOU’RE NOT ALONE, BUT BE WARNED,
THERE MIGHT BE A LAW AGAINST IT.
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
You’re not a lawyer? Don’t worry. You’ll find this readable and scholarly volume by Peter Thornton QC and his team a topical and fascinating read. If you are a lawyer, run out and buy this book. You never know in this turbulent age of protest and dissent, when you’re going to need it.
It’s an account of public order law: illuminating, informative and carefully structured for ease of use. Public order, as pointed out in the preface, is generally reactive- reacting, or responding to problems of disorder and violent unrest which have recently occurred — the Fascist marches of the1930s, for example…the Southall riots of 1979…the Brixton disorders of 1981…the poll tax of 1990…and so on, including protests over wars, from Vietnam to Iraq, Afghanistan and Gaza.
Whether you agree or disagree with whatever contentious issue is being protested about, protest nonetheless remains an option, an avenue of communication if you like and in a democratic society, an inalienable right; ‘the lifeblood of democracy,’ a senior judge has called it. Protest of course occurs at the local level too. Usually it’s about creeping urban blight, daft planning decisions and perceived threats to health, from everything from big, ugly buildings designed by famous architects, to mobile phone masts, airport expansions, intrusive motorways and a host of other causes.
Since Peter Thornton wrote “Public Order law” in 1987, an amazing number of new public order measures have been created, to some considerable extent brought about by the phenomenon of burgeoning terrorism.
‘There is a trend, driven by political will,’ warns the author, ‘…to keep making more law without codification, of apparent thought for the adequacy of existing powers. ‘The primary aim of this book — which it accomplishes admirably — is ‘to guide the lawyer student and citizen through the maze.’ And a maze it certainly is, although note that the January 2010 publication date of the book precedes the UK general election of May 6th 2010. The new Conservative-Lib Dem coalition now in power will no doubt review much of this legislation. Watch out for changes here in response to continuing events.
Areas covered by this important book’s expert team include: the Public Order Act 1986…Processions, Assemblies and Meetings…Use of the Highway…Trespass to Land…Police Powers Before Arrest…Arrest, Detention and Bail…Defences of Excuse and Justification…Punishment, Appeals and Restricting Orders…and Human Rights.
In all, you have the benefit of over 500 useful pages, including Tables of Cases, Statutes…Secondary Legislation and International Legislation — the resources you need to guide you through this fascinating and complex area of law.

Egyptian Police torture and kill young man for trying to expose police corruption
WARNING GRAPHIC Khaled Said died after police dragged him out of an internet cafe in Alexandria on June 6 2010 — a fatality that has since become a lightning rod for human rights activists.
Witnesses said two plainclothes police officers beat Said, 28, to death. Egyptian authorities said he died from asphyxiation after he swallowed a packet of drugs.
A photograph of his pummeled face is on a Facebook page devoted to him.
The circumstances behind Said’s death are unclear. Police say he was wanted for theft and weapons possession and that he resisted arrest. Supporters say he was targeted for trying to expose official corruption. The government says it is still investigating the death.
ElBaradei visited Said’s family Friday to offer his condolences, went to Friday prayers at the Sidi Gaber mosque, and moved through the crowds of protesters as security forces stood guard at the demonstration.
He told CNN that such a beating is a practice out of the Middle Ages.
“I think the message should be clear,” said ElBaradei, making his most high-profile appearance since leaving the International Atomic Energy Agency. “This should be the last time we witness torture in Egypt.”
Protesters carried posters; one read “Killed by Barbarians.” One opposition activist, Gamila Ismail, said police are “bold” and “brutal.”
“They want to tame us and they want to get us used to torture, even in the streets, and shutting up.”
One man, who identified himself as Sharif, told CNN, “I don’t want a million dollars. I just want to be treated like a human being.”
Layla Said, Khaled’s mother, told CNN, “We raise our children so they will become like flowers. And in a moment they are cut down. Why?”
Referring to President Hosni Mubarak, a well-wisher at Said’s house said, “The president needs to hear us and needs to feel the tears of the mothers.”
“Everyone is with you,” another well-wisher said to Layla Said. “All our hearts are with you.”
The death has sparked other demonstrations in Egypt in which crowds were forcibly dispersed and some were arrested, the group said.
Human Rights Watch, a humanitarian watchdog group, said photographs of Said’s “mangled face” as well as the witness accounts “constitute strong evidence that plainclothes security officers beat him in a vicious and public manner.”
“Photos of Said’s battered and deformed face published on the internet show a fractured skull, dislocated jaw, broken nose, and numerous other signs of trauma,” it said in a news release.
The group said that nine people described the beating, and that the two officers suspected in the beating “have not been relieved of their duties and have yet to be questioned by the prosecutor.”
“All those involved should be speedily interrogated, and the prosecutor should fully investigate what caused the fractures and trauma clearly evident on his body,” Joe Stork, deputy Middle East and North Africa director for Human Rights Watch, said in the release, dated Thursday.
ElBaradei stepped down last year from the post of director-general of the IAEA. He and the agency were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005.
