Supreme Court judgment in the Animal Rising Müller 6 case. SC finds with the appellants: there is no case to answer. You can't commit public nuisance on private land, under the second limb of s78 of the PCSC 2022 (the one that applies to protest), because there is no public *right* of passage 1/3

Very nice to have one's long held academic views vindicated by the UKSC this morning, in McCafferty, on whether public nuisance under s78 PCSCA 2022 can be committed on private ways (not public highways) - answer: no

"I do not believe Vučić will concede power peacefully, the way Viktor Orbán did after losing the election in Hungary." As Serbia heads toward elections, attacks on civil society reveal a darker pattern: Moscow and Belgrade often chase the same enemies.

"Hybrid War Over Our Own Democracy and Sovereignty": How Vučić and Putin Targets Serbia's Civil Society - VSquare.org

A Russian cyberespionage operation spent a month inside a Belgrade think tank's inboxes, reading 28,000 emails after posing as a Belarusian dissident to get in. Tied to the SVR and GRU, the hackers weren't just after documents — they walked away with a blueprint of relationships and vulnerabilities that AI can weaponize. As Serbia heads toward elections, the attack reveals a darker pattern: Moscow and Belgrade often chase the same enemies.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... A sad day for British justice. Coming down like a ton of bricks on people with a social conscience. Meanwhile those who incite and commit acts of terror against innocent immigrants must be ‘understood’

The First Amendment protects our right to record public law enforcement activity, but protestors and observers have faced violence and retaliation for exercising their rights. Demand that congress pass a bill to defend our right to record.

Protect The Right to Record

The public has a constitutional right to know what our own government is up to. But right now, federal agents are harassing and intimidating people legally recording them in public. Congress must pass the Right to Record Act.

Saying violence is ‘wrong’ is too weak. What is wrong is targeting people for being black or a particular religion, destroying property and quality of life, controlling behaviour by coercive intimidation. All are on show in Belfast and all demand political, judicial and administrative intervention.

📍We're in Nassau County rallying ahead of oral arguments in our lawsuit against Nassau’s unlawful no-speech policy. As we said in court today: Nassau’s buffer law is unnecessary, stifles free speech, and violates Nassau County residents’ rights to engage in peaceful political protest.
