No Extra Profit Deaths – 2016 The motion on Wednesday seventh September 2016 started with an enormous banner being displayed over the river wall on the Albert Embankment so it might be seen clearly be any MPs and others on the river terrace outdoors the homes of Parliament with the message ‘NO MORE BENEFIT DEATHS #DPAC’
The date was the opening day for the Paralympics in Rio, and protesters held a rally outdoors Downing Avenue to name on Theresa Could to concentrate to human rights and to make public the findings of the UN investigation into the UK for violations of Deaf and Disabled individuals’s rights, to scrap the Work Functionality Evaluation and decide to stopping future benefit-related deaths.
From Downing Avenue they marched behind a coffin in direction of Parliament Sq..
However on reaching Bridge Avenue they stunned police by turning on to Westminster Bridge
the place they blocked the highway on each carriageways with banners, a floral signal and the coffin.
The enormous banner that had beforehand been displayed on the embankment was now stretched throughout the highway.
Protesters sat in wheelchairs or stood holding posters and banners and there have been some speeches about why the protest was happening.
Police at first requested them politely to depart, then started to threaten protesters and journalists masking the occasion with arrest in the event that they remained on the freeway.
Most of these in wheelchairs refused to maneuver. One carer who was taking care of a disabled particular person was arrested and brought to a police van.
I feel these arrested had been later launched with out cost – arrest was being utilized in an abuse of course of to harass protesters
A lot of DPAC’s disabled protesters refused to maneuver and some remained blocking the roadway nearly two hours after the protest started.
Finally Paula Peters determined that the protest had gone on for lengthy sufficient and triumphantly referred to as a halt to the protest.
