    #1 is in UK.
    #2 Could have easily been done legally.

    repressive legal measures taken by universities

    Which they can only do because they didn’t do the protests legally.

    #3 is about the same as #2.

    None of these are environmental, and has absolutely zero saying on the headline that claim:

    Europe Criminalizes Environmental Protest

    And it doesn’t disprove that these protests could have been arranged legally. There are reasons why we have legal frameworks for protests. One of the reasons is that protests need to be peaceful. Violent protests are NOT democratic:

      Peaceful protest has literally never accomplished anything without the credible threat of violence, you are delusional
