New Report Highlights Widespread Harassment Threatening UK's Democratic Way of Life

Dame Sara Khan, government adviser on social cohesion, warns of a 'dangerous climate of harassment and censorship' across society.

Dame Sara Khan's report reveals over 75% of the public feel unable to express their views due to fear of harassment.
The report calls for the establishment of a 150-meter exclusion zone for protests outside schools to protect freedom of speech.
Instances of harassment have led to severe consequences, including individuals taking security measures, changing jobs, or moving houses.
Criticism arises from schools and public figures targeted in the report, claiming inaccuracies and a lack of recognition for efforts to address harassment.
The government is urged to take stronger action to combat harassment and protect democratic freedoms, with proposals for new laws and an independent Office for Social Cohesion and Democratic Resilience.
