Peaceful demonstrations are taking place across the UK this week. Here's how to make your voice heard without putting yourself at risk
Numerous posters have circulated online with key London dates, showing that there will be a peaceful protest at Hyde Park on Wednesday 3rd June at 1pm, another at parliament square on Saturday 6th June at 1pm and so far, a final one on Sunday 7th of June at the US Embassy at 2pm.

For your protection and that of other people don’t answer further questions.
