About Us

About the campaign

Defend the Right to Protest was launched in response to violent police tactics and arrests at the student protests of November and December 2010, with the support of activists, MPs, trade unionists, student groups and others. We campaign against police brutality, kettling and the use of violence against those who have a right to protest. We campaign to defend all those protestors who have been arrested, bailed or charged and are fighting to clear their names.

Outrageous decision by IPCC on attack on Jody McIntyre

May 27, 2022 ~ 2 Comments ~ Written by admin

In a totally outrageous decision, a Metropolitan Police investigation supervised by the IPCC has concluded that police officers were “justified” in pulling Jody McIntyre from his wheelchair and hitting him with a baton at the student fees demonstrations.

A statement from the force said: “The investigation, supervised by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), did not find evidence to substantiate any of the complaints made by Jody McIntyre regarding two separate incidents at the demonstrations.”

Defend the Right to Protest will be campaigning vigorously to publicise and overturn this wholly unacceptable decision which is a clear and cynical attack on our right to protest. More to follow.

    jody, don t forget you are a victim here if you were forgetting your being a victim, then you would forget to protect your right and duties to considerate the consequence of your being an activist, and a possible threat to the public security too. you have to keep in mind that in wheel chair or not they had to take into account the fact that you could have charged them.
