Extinction Rebellion has won a legal challenge in London's High Court against a police-imposed blanket ban on protests

Extinction Rebellion climate-change activists have won a legal challenge in London's High Court against a police-imposed blanket ban on protests during its "Autumn Uprising" in the British capital in October.

Police officers stand around Extinction Rebellion activists during a demonstration outside the Bank of England last month.Therefore barring any Extinction Rebellion protest in London other than at Trafalgar Square was unlawful and would be quashed, it said. Police, however, said the protests were hugely disruptive to London and action planned on the London Underground posed a threat to the safety of customers and staff, according to the court ruling.

"The judgment in our favour shows that the police clearly overstepped the mark when they imposed a blanket ban on any XR related protest," she said.Assistant Commissioner Nick Ephgrave said the decision to ban the protests was not taken lightly.
