Can you tell us about the Certified Specialist Programme in Protester Rights Protection and what motivated you to create it? GUEST: Of course. The course is designed to help learners understand the legal frameworks that govern protests, as well as practical strategies for protecting protesters' rights. I was motivated by the increasing polarization in our world and the need for professionals who can navigate the complex legal and ethical issues surrounding protests and civil disobedience. HOST: I see. What are some of the current industry trends or challenges related to protester rights protection? GUEST: One trend we're seeing is the use of technology to monitor and suppress protests. This creates new challenges for protecting protesters' rights and requires professionals to stay up-to-date on the latest tools and techniques being used. Additionally, there's a growing need for de-escalation training to prevent conflicts from turning violent. HOST: That's fascinating. Can you share an example of a time when you had to navigate a difficult situation related to protester rights protection? GUEST: Sure. I once represented a group of protesters who were arrested for trespassing on private property. However, the property was actually public land that had been improperly sold to a private developer. It took a lot of research and advocacy to get the charges dropped and protect the protesters' rights. HOST: Wow, that's quite a story. Finally, where do you see the future of protester rights protection heading? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see a rise in protests and civil disobedience as people become more polarized and frustrated with the status quo. This means there will be an increasing demand for professionals who can protect protesters' rights and ensure public safety. I'm optimistic that with the right training and education, we can meet this demand and make a positive difference in the world.
