Guardian: the UN special rapporteur on freedom of association and peaceful assembly, says he is “alarmed” by the prison term for Deanna “Violet” Coco, a climate protester who blocked a lane of traffic on Sydney Harbour Bridge for about 25 minutes in April.

#Australia - I am alarmed at #NSW court's prison term against #ClimateProtester 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗰𝗼 and refusal to grant bail until a March 2023 appeal hearing. Peaceful protesters should never be criminalised or imprisoned.👇🏽 t.co/uvxN0f7Inl

— UN Special Rapporteur Freedom of Association (@cvoule) December 2, 2022
Coco was sentenced on Friday to 15 months in prison with a non-parole period of eight months.
