A feminist campaigner has claimed police threatened to arrest her for a peaceful protest at a statue of Emmeline Pankhurst, where she was allegedly assaulted by balaclava-clad trans activists.

Aleks Kovacevic, 44, was hailed by JK Rowling for standing firm in the face of “intimidation” from a group of masked counter-protesters who disrupted an event organized by gender-critical campaigners in Manchester on Sunday.

Greater Manchester Police are facing criticism for failing to intervene in what Ms Kovacevic claimed to be a minute-long scuffle, which saw her pushed on to a stone ledge by the rival group, as she held a suffragette flag aloft.

The chef from Nottingham told The Telegraph she was then herself threatened with arrest by the officers for a breach of the peace, but now intends to file a criminal complaint of assault against the trans activists.

The confrontation took place when supporters of the Standing for Women (SFW) group arrived for speeches planned next to the suffragette statue, on the issue of women’s rights being eroded by “trans ideology”.

Instead, they found the monument encircled by protesters wearing balaclavas and dressed entirely in black, who had responded to the call of Manchester Trans Rise Up (MTRU) for an “emergency protest against a transphobic gathering”.

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has argued that the pro-transgender Antifa assault on a feminist campaigner demonstrates that the far-left is on the wrong side of history.


On Sunday, Aleks Kovacevic, 44, was assaulted by a group of black bloc radicals as she tried to protest in favour of women’s rights near a statue honouring British suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst in the English city of Manchester.

The masked assailants were seen in footage posted online attempting to physically remove the trans-critical feminist from the area as she held a suffragette flag, presumably in order to shut down the planned protest from Standing for Women (SFW).

The black bloc attackers were later identified as an Antifa cell in Britain known as the Anarchist Federation, according to veteran Antifa watcher and editor-at-large of the Post Millenial, Andy Ngo. https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/15 ... 2330842114

Kellie-Jay Keen, Founder of Standing For Women, told the crowd that opposing protesters ‘can’t take our thoughts and don’t take our rights’.

Ms Keen told MailOnline: ‘In 2022 nothing could be encapsulated and the rights of women so thoroughly masked as to prevent men from speaking to the Pankhurst statue.

‘Transgender ideology posed by women face an existential threat. An ideology that places women’s rights, spaces and even our language. [*displaces?]

‘Women have had enough and we will continue to speak up in the face of squealing, entitled, tantruming men.’

...‘Women have decided to give up our spaces to men. They have listened to the cries of these nasty, entitled men and gone, ‘I feel sorry, I think you should come into our spaces. They only want to pee and masturbate in our toilets. https://lovebylife.com/do-you-know-the- ... ymail-com/
