protest ban
Outlawed public dissent
A protest ban is an official prohibition on public demonstrations, typically imposed by governments during periods of unrest, public health emergencies, or political tension.
Such bans may target specific locations, times, or groups, or may be blanket restrictions on all public gatherings: The city enacted a protest ban ahead of the summit.
Critics often challenge protest bans as violations of free speech and assembly rights.
