Mehriban Rahimli (a human rights defender from Azerbaijan) and Peter Allen (a member of Frack Free Ryedale) spoke about the right to protest, at a public meeting on Tuesday 16 February organised by us and the University of York's Centre for Applied Human Rights. The audience learnt how the rights to protest and freedom of assembly are under threat in Azerbaijan and the United Kingdom and how the oil and gas industries wield their power across the globe.
