Welcome to the latest Alerts Roundup from Civic Space Watch. In this edition, we focus on the political instability, mass protests and new restrictions in France; how new laws in the Netherlands are targeting protestors and migrants’ rights defenders and stigmatising civil society; and why fast-tracked amendments to Bulgaria’s criminal code threaten the freedom of expression.
Plus, we bring you updates on the use of spyware by the Italian government, further arrests following the UK’s ban of Palestine Action, the ongoing protest movement in Serbia, and more!
