Cleveland Relaxes Rules On Protest Marches At Gop Convention

CLEVELAND (AP) — The relaxation of rules on protest marches during the upcoming Republican National Convention and the shrinking of a designated event zone downtown is an "important victory" for free speech rights, a civil rights group said Wednesday. The amended rules announced Wednesday extend a designated parade route for protest marches, shrink the event zone where the rules would be enforced by roughly half and allow people who live within the zone, including the homeless, to carry banned items including bottles and cans. The ACLU represented Citizens For Trump, a group that plans a rally and march to support the presumptive Republican presidential candidate, and Organize Ohio, which is coordinating a rally and march to protest economic inequality in the U.S.
