Protest against the new Spanish Citizens Security Law

A protestor with her mouth muzzled protest against the new Spanish Citizens Security Law in Madrid, Spain, Saturday, Dec. 20, 2014. Thousands of people have gathered in several Spanish cities to protest against a wave of repressive laws and reforms by the conservative Popular Party government, that include draft legislation that will set heavy fines for offences such as causing disturbances outside parliament, burning the national flag, insulting the state or taking part in unauthorised or prohibited protests at strategic installations. Also can be fined protesters who prevent authorities from carrying out evictions, insulting a police officer and disseminating photographs of police officers that endanger them or police operations. The legislation also allows for the summary expulsion of migrants entering the country's North African enclaves illegally. (Photo by Rodrigo Garcia/NurPhoto)
