Amnesty report: Systematic restrictions on protest rights across Europe, including Finland

Amnesty International has unveiled a troubling report highlighting widespread violations of the right to peaceful assembly in 21 European countries. The findings reveal a concerted effort by states to stigmatize, criminalize, and unjustly limit peaceful protests.

The report documents the use of repressive laws, arbitrary detentions, legal actions against protestors, and unnecessary or excessive force by authorities.
