‘Heroes in Prison’ - Activists imprison Westminster statues as 'terrorists' to highlight crackdown on protest - Greenpeace UK

Heroes in Prison

Greenpeace UK activists have installed prison bars around iconic statues in Parliament Square to highlight the government's crackdown on protest.

The statues of Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, and Suffragist Millicent Fawcett were "imprisoned" to demonstrate how the government's laws could brand famous protesters as criminals and terrorists.

These heroes could fall foul of the government's anti-protest laws and be branded as criminals if they were still protesting today.
