Online Protest Your Voice Will Be Heard
Right to political protest The right to political protest is protected by the Constitution. Section 17 of the Bill of Rights provides for rights to conduct peaceful and unarmed activities such as assembly, demonstrations, pickets and petitions. Political protest also involves imparting related information, and this right is guaranteed by the section regarding freedom of expression (Section 16 of the Bill of Rights). Although the right to political protest is protected by the Constitution, this right may be limited by principle. Activists must remember that none of the fundamental rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights are absolute. The Constitution gives government the power to limit these rights. Section 36 of the Bill, however, says the limitation of fundamental rights or freedoms must be reasonable and justifiable in an open and democratic society based on human dignity, equality and freedom.
The Following Abstracts from the Bill of Rights Might Apply To Any On-Line Protest
Section 15: Freedom of religion, belief and opinion
Everyone has the right to believe or think what they want, even if their opinion is different to the government.
Everyone has the right to practise the religion they choose.
Government institutions, like schools, can follow religious practices (like having prayers in the morning) but this must be done fairly and people cannot be forced to attend them.
A person can also get married under the laws of their religion.
But these cannot go against the Bill of Rights. For example, a woman who marries according to customary law does not lose her rights of equality when she gets married.
Section 16: Freedom of speech and expression
Everyone has the right to say what they want, including the press and other media.
Limiting this right
There are certain kinds of speech that are not protected. These are:
propaganda for war
inciting (encouraging) people to use violence
hate speech
Hate speech means spreading hatred and encouraging people to act violently or harmfully towards other people because of their race, gender, ethnic origin or religion.
In other words, hate speech encourages people to discriminate against other people.
Section 17: Freedom of assembly, demonstration, picket and petition
Everyone has the right to assemble with other people, hold a demonstration, picket or present petitions.
They must do this in a peaceful way and they may not carry weapons.
The Regulation of Gatherings Act (1993) says organisers of a demonstration must give the authorities at least 7 days notice.
The organisers must give the names, purpose of the event, the place of the gathering or the route of the march and the numbers of people expected to take part. The police can disperse a crowd, using reasonable force, if they believe there is a danger to people or property.
Section 18: Freedom of association
Everyone has the right to associate with whoever they want, for example, workers joining together and meeting in a trade union.
Section 19: Political rights
Everyone has the right and is free to make political choices, such as the right to:
form a political party
join any political party
encourage other people to join a political party
campaign for a political party or cause
Elections
Every adult citizen has the right to free, fair and regular elections. They have the right to:
vote in these elections
vote in secret in elections
stand for election
