A new security law, intended to stop environmental activists' blockades of roads, is on its way to becoming a reality in Italy.

The law has been initiated by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's right-wing government and still needs to be approved by the Senate. Critics have dubbed the bill the "anti-Gandhi law", after India's non-violent leader Mahatma Gandhi.

The purpose is, among other things, to stop protests against two major infrastructure projects, a high-speed rail link from Turin to Lyon in France, and a bridge over the Strait of Messina to Sicily.

Violations of the law on demonstrations outside designated areas can lead to up to two years' imprisonment.
