THIS IS NOT A PROTEST.

In an extra ordinary art performance artist Mark McGowan is to challenge the government and police�s Westminster protest ban by walking backwards inside the entire exclusion zone wearing a tee shirt saying THIS IS NOT A PROTEST, and whispering the words ��sssh this is not a protest sssh�this not a protest sssh��, to passers-by.

A recent law was passed banning all protest within-in a one mile exclusion zone, which also includes any banners, placards and loud hailers.

The event will start at 10am in Westminster Square this Saturday 17th December 2005.

McGowan says, �I don�t think that I am breaking the law, I hope not�.
