According to a report by Amnesty International, the right to protest is being systematically curtailed across Europe. The study also indicates signs of suppression of the freedom of assembly in Finland.

Amnesty International’s research revealed that laws suppressing the freedom of assembly are widely enforced across Europe. According to the organization, states are criminalizing peaceful protestors and unjustifiably restricting demonstrations.

The report also noted that in Finland, there is disproportionate use of force by the police against protestors, especially in the case of climate demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience.
