The jailing of Violet Coco should lead to riots in the streets. It is just so wrong. States, both Liberal and Labor governed have taken away our civil rights to protest specifically aimed at climate change protesters. Cookers and anarchists protest with no consequences.

[Pearls and Irritations @johnmenadue]

Over policing and disproportionate punishment. The news regarding Violet Coco should alarm us all. Last week P& I published alarming first hand stories and there will be many others not told. #NSWpol #Auspol

Snap protest on Gadigal land today against the draconian NSW anti-protest laws, responding to the outrageous jail sentence given to climate activist Violet Coco.

200+ turned out at short notice and took the streets.

“15 months for blocking roads? Unfair laws have got to go!”

[Prof Matt Haggis 🐀 🍉 @matthaggis666]

Wow... NSW Labor leader Chris Minns defending the fascist laws that saw climate protester Deanna Coco jailed. #auspol

[Knitting Nannas and Friends - Sydney @knitnannasSYD]

Huge loud protest outside NSW Parl today, in support of Violet Coco. Perrottet says it’s ‘pleasing to see’ her harsh sentence of 15 months jail for blocking 1 lane of Harbour Bridge for 25 mins to draw attention to our looming climate catastrophe.

Snap rally at NSW Parliament and a march to the courts at the Downing Centre where climate activist Violet Coco was sentenced to 15 months in prison last week.

We demand repeal of the draconian anti-protest laws, an end to new fossil fuel projects and serious climate action now!

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

We look to China and Iran with disbelief at how protestors are treated abroad. But democracy is fragile and ours is not immune. We must protect our ability to disagree, to voice dissent publicly and, if needed, to protest peacefully.

The right to protest is essential to a thriving democracy. Solidarity with Violet Coco. https://t.co/ewcalhzavt

Mr Premier @Dom_Perrottet re jail for Violet Coco for climate change civil disobedience. You ignore the substantive issue here - current law allows fossil corporates/governments to destroy earth’s biosphere - the ultimate inconvenience for all species including Sydney road users.

[Rick @colonelhogans]

NSW. The Police state. This is insane.

“Climate activist Deanna Marie ‘Violet’ Coco will spend at least eight months in prison for blocking one lane of the Harbour Bridge by standing on the roof of a truck holding a lit emergency flare in April.”

[Stop Adani @stopadani]

.@Dom_Perrottet: “If protesters want to put our way of life at risk, then they should have the book thrown at them." Wait until Dom hears about all these coal and gas companies putting literally everyone's lives at risk by fuelling the #ClimateCrisis! https://t.co/UUQlC2iyoJ

[Eddy Jokovich @EddyJokovich]

Wow. A climate change protester who blocks a lane on Sydney Harbour Bridge for 25 minutes is jailed for 15 months, but a 62-year-old guy who sexually abused a 14-year old boy will receive a suspended sentence because he’s “of good character”. #auspol

[Sophie McNeill @Sophiemcneill]

Outrageous decision just now in a Sydney court

Climate activist Violet Coco given 15 month sentence, 8 months no parole after she blocked 1 lane of the Harbour Bridge for 25 mins in April

It's clear climate protesters are being targeted for disproportionate punishment @hrw
