The Metropolitan Police has been accused of seeking to use human rights legislation to block anti-monarchy protests at this weekend's Trooping the Colour.
Republic claimed this was based on the "spurious grounds" that a protest would deny spectators the right to enjoy the parade, adding that human rights legislation "does not provide a right to enjoy a day out".The King will make a high-profile appearance on Saturday to mark his official birthday during Trooping the Colour, which takes place at Horse Guards Parade near Buckingham Palace in central London.
However, it said police had since insisted protesters move to a "place that is out of sight of the parade and media".
