Almost 250 people have been #imprisoned for breaching antisocial behaviour injunctions (asbis) since 2020, with people being jailed for sleeping rough, begging, feeding birds and making a noise.

One man, who breached an injunction by continuing to feed pigeons on his balcony after being instructed not to was imprisoned for 15 weeks.

“I started feeding birds with my mum in the 1960s. In recent years, feeding the birds has helped with my grief, #depression and ongoing #sobriety

@Aral Balkan As a citizen of #authoritarian state #2 in the EU , what I see as the biggest threat is the normalization of the participation in public life of parties and organizations with overtly proto-fascist agendas, which only a few years ago operated on the complete margins. Today they have representation in parliament and the mainstream media invite them to programs, giving them time and their millions of viewers to present their "views."
