The police have applied for powers to ban any procession (two or more people count as a procession) see here for details:  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/sheffield/2005/06/312790.html

However there are, at the moment, 5 protests planned:

1. Critical Mass - June 15th 4:30pm Devonshire Green -  http://sheffield.dissent.org.uk/criticalmass.html

2. No Justice - We will not tolerate our rights being taken away from us. Demonstrate on Devonshire Green for the freedom of speech, the right to protest and for real democracy. The idea of the protest will be to express the violation of our rights we have experienced here. We will be many, but silent, our mouths taped and our hands cuffed, we will carry banners, but these banners will be blank or blackened so they will say nothing.

Protest at Devonshire Green on Wednesday 15th June 5.30 pm.
