Council of Europe Congress Bureau backs peaceful protests and social rights

Original: Council of Europe Congress Bureau: Peaceful protests should be supported, calls for social rights should be heard

The Bureau of the Congress of the Council of Europe has issued a statement saying that peaceful protests should be supported and that calls for social rights should be heard. It framed the right to demonstrate as something public authorities must respect and protect rather than suppress, and urged that citizens' demands on social issues be taken seriously by decision-makers.

Why now: The statement comes amid widespread protest movements across Europe pushing for social and economic rights.
