When does protest become a problem, and when is it a right worth defending? In this thought-provoking lecture, human rights lawyer Jelle Klaas explores the power, limits, and legal foundations of protest in a democratic society. From blocking highways to marching in the streets, he unpacks what the law allows, where tensions arise, and why the freedom to protest is essential, even when it’s uncomfortable.
