The fascists win again

The Herald reports:

A leading United States official in the Aukus programme had to abandon her speech in Wellington today after it was disrupted by pro-Palestinian and anti-Aukus protestors planted among the audience (see the speech below).

The right to protest does not extend to being a right to prevent people from hearing from someone they wish to.

When you prevent people from hearing a speaker they wish to hear from, you are forcing your views on them and harming their human rights. It is basically a form of speech fascism.
