The proposal aims to address concerns over disorder during protests, though critics may question its potential impact on free expression and public assembly rights. Authorities have framed the move as necessary to maintain public safety while balancing law enforcement’s ability to respond to escalating tensions. Details on enforcement and exemptions remain under review as the policy takes shape.
The government has unveiled a new offence of 'violent participation in public demonstrations', among other measures.
