英国30城示威活动 政府要求警方“严厉镇压”

据英媒《卫报》报道，政府已和警方进行了交流，决定对示威者进行“更严厉的镇压”：

Government and police have held talks to strengthen public order laws to allow a tougher crackdown on future Extinction Rebellion (XR) climate demonstrations.

为加强公共秩序法律(的约束)，政府和警方举行了会谈，允许后者对今后“灭绝叛乱”气候示威者进行更严厉的镇压。

Talks have been ongoing for months between police chiefs and the Home Office with changes to specific sections of the 1986 Public Order Act being discussed.

警察局负责人们与内政部已进行了几个月的交谈，讨论对1986年《公共秩序法》中的某些条款进行修改。

显然，这是要往严了修改……

One senior police source said changes could include lowering the threshold at which police can place restrictions. Such a change would mean that the prospect of “disruption” is enough to impose tough conditions, not “serious disruption” as the public order act currently states.

一名警方的资深消息人士表示，(对《公共秩序法》的)改变可能包括降低警方设置限制的门槛。这样的改变将意味着，对于达到“破坏”的情形，警方就能严厉处理对待，而不是《公共秩序法》目前所称的“严重破坏”。

The source said government wanted to see more robust and proactive action from police: “They want ‘move forward’ tactics and to see the police are doing something and clearing the streets. Government wants police to be more robust earlier and more often.”

该消息人士称，政府希望看到警方采取更有力、更主动的行动。“他们希望采取‘向前推进'的策略，能看到警察在采取行动，整顿街道。政府希望警方及早、更高频率地加强执法。”

不仅如此，在这段时间示威者各种花式刷存在感之下，光伦敦警方就已逮捕过1760多人。("More than 1,760 arrests have been made in connection with the London protests." - BBC)

警方也不允许“灭绝叛乱”组织在伦敦地区示威了。

老实说，“灭绝叛乱”这个组织的“环保”初衷或许不坏。但弄到堵塞道路、瘫痪交通、严重影响人们生活，实在是得不偿失。

光喊口号的“嘴炮环保”能起多少作用?不如自己先多种几棵树吧。

在这一地鸡毛之后，“灭绝叛乱”最近也开始有所反思。
