Heroes in Prison
A team of Greenpeace activists installed prison bars around iconic statues in Parliament Square to highlight the government's crackdown on protest.
The activists targeted statues of Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, and Suffragist Millicent Fawcett, famous protesters who fought against injustice and secured democratic freedoms.
Despite being celebrated as heroes, they could be branded as criminals under the government's anti-protest laws if they were still protesting today.
The action aims to expose the government's desire to cast protesters as criminals and terrorists.
