This doesn’t say anything about what the talk is, who is giving it, who is protesting it, or why.
I hate this style of press releases. It’s rude to assume your readership is hip deep in the scene drama.

Their statement is a global reminder of the organization rules:
- they don't give preferential treatment to speakers
- they allow peaceful protest
It reminds me of something that often frustrates me. An allegation that someone said something (e.g. something offensive), but without quoting what they said (or providing context) so I cannot actually evaluate it for myself.
