flag UK bans protests outside MPs' homes to prevent harassment, with up to 6 months in jail for violating the law.

flag A new UK law will make it a crime to protest outside the homes of MPs, peers, and local councillors with the intent to influence their work or personal lives, punishable by up to six months in jail. flag The measure, part of the Crime and Policing Bill, aims to curb harassment after a survey found 96% of MPs have experienced abuse. flag Supported by the Home Office and Security Minister Dan Jarvis, it targets intimidation while preserving protest rights elsewhere. flag The Jo Cox Foundation backs the law, citing safety concerns, though some civil liberties groups worry it may restrict free expression. flag The change excludes official residences like Downing Street.
