A counter-protest (also spelled counterprotest) is a protest action which takes place within the proximity of an ideologically opposite protest. The purposes of counter-protests can range from merely voicing opposition to the objective of the other protest to actively drawing attention from nearby media outlets away from the other protest toward the counter-protestors' cause to actively seeking to disrupt the other protest by conflict of a non-violent or violent nature. In some countries, governments can even sponsor counter-protesters who rally against opposition figures and members.

  • A counter-protest (also spelled counterprotest) is a protest action which takes place within the proximity of an ideologically opposite protest. The purposes of counter-protests can range from merely voicing opposition to the objective of the other protest to actively drawing attention from nearby media outlets away from the other protest toward the counter-protestors' cause to actively seeking to disrupt the other protest by conflict of a non-violent or violent nature. In many countries where protests by various pressure groups are allowed, the nearby law enforcement installation may make it a priority to keep rival protestors as far from each other as to avoid possible physical contact, and legal contention often arises over whether the rival groups possess permits to gather and rally within a short distance of each other. Often, rallies can be infiltrated by rival protestors for purposes ranging from distraction, disruption to merely asking critical questions of the leaders of the rally or providing humorous or mocking diversions; the reactions of protestors to counter-protestors within close proximity can often be violent and confrontational. In some countries, governments can even sponsor counter-protesters who rally against opposition figures and members. (en)
  • Une contre-manifestation est une action de protestation qui a lieu à proximité d'une manifestation idéologiquement opposée. Les objectifs des contre-manifestations peuvent aller de la simple expression d'une opposition à l'objectif de l'autre manifestation à la recherche active d'une perturbation de l'autre manifestation par un conflit de nature non violente ou violente, en passant par la volonté d'attirer l'attention des médias sur la cause des contre-manifestants. Dans de nombreux pays où les manifestations sont autorisées, les forces de l'ordre ont pour priorité de maintenir les manifestants rivaux aussi loin les uns des autres que possible afin d'éviter tout contact physique, et les litiges juridiques portent souvent sur la question de savoir si les groupes rivaux possèdent des autorisations pour se rassembler et se réunir à courte distance les uns des autres. Souvent, les rassemblements peuvent être infiltrés par des manifestants rivaux à des fins de distraction, de perturbation ou simplement pour poser des questions embarrassantes aux leaders du rassemblement ou pour faire de l'humour ou se moquer des manifestants. Les réactions des manifestants aux contre-manifestants sont parfois violentes et conflictuelles. Dans certains pays, les gouvernements parrainent des contre-manifestants qui manifestent contre les personnalités et les membres de l'opposition. (fr)
