Do we still have the right to peaceful protest?

consider the tragic death during the G-20 protest and, more recently, the 114 arrests made by the nottinghamshire police.
if by the simple act of registering one’s discontent or disapproval through organised peaceful protest (regardless of the few individuals seeking to hijack these events for disruptive purposes) one is branded and treated like a criminal, can we be said to have the right to protest?
i understand the police must act in the interest of public safety and may need robust tactics for dealing with those who seek to cause harm or endanger others. nevertheless, what is a democracy when dissent becomes dangerous and is criminalised?
