Police had reportedly filed for the protest to be barred by the Point Pedro court, but the presiding judge refused to issue a ban on the grounds that it would be undemocratic.

Local businesses also showed their support for the demonstrators by performing a shutdown protest, closing their business premises for an hour to coincide with the march.
