Demonstrators attend a protest against the Spanish government’s new anti-protest law in Madrid

A man, with a sticker reading “freedom of expression” on his head, stands next to a placard reading “we will not shut up” (R) during a protest against the Spanish government’s new anti-protest security law in Madrid December 20, 2014. A demonstration against Spain’s new “Ley Mordaza” anti-protest bill was held on Saturday following its approval by the conservative-led Spanish parliament on December 11 despite heavy opposition from some politicians and activist groups, who say the law violates the right to protest, limits freedom of expression and gives more power to police. The bill will go to the senate next where it is expected to pass as the ruling People’s Party also has a majority in the upper house.
