## Resource

Criminalizing protest is nothing new, but the animal rights movement is becoming more of a target. We talk to Dr. Liz Hicks of Melbourne University, who specialises in the law regarding animal rights and legal measures in Australia, the USA, and Europe, to restrict access to information and the right to protest.
