Liberty writes to home secretary saying she acted unlawfully because parliament had rejected measures

Human rights campaigners have begun legal action against the home secretary, Suella Braverman, after she forced draconian new police powers through parliament in a move described by the House of Lords as a “constitutional outrage”.

Liberty wrote to Braverman on Wednesday, saying her move to empower police to curtail or restrict protests that caused “more than minor” disruption was unlawful.
