I do not know what laws you have down under but here in America, this right to face your accuser only applies to the court room. If CoS was put on trial then they would face their accusers. This does not apply to protesters or any other aspect of life outside the court room. Maybe in Canada and Australia this is different and if the protest occur there then i may be true. But any protest in America give no right to CoS to face their accusers.

But is this "right" or morally correct?

What you are essentially saying is that a mob can say whatever they want about ANYONE whilst maintaining their anonymity, without ever having to back it up or face natural justice if they are lying.

 

 Freedom of speech.   I have no idea how it is down under but here in America, we like our freedom of speech.  Now if this group of mask wearing protesters were making up things and saying things that were untrue then police would have arrested them and charged them with slander.  If you go in public and claim false things about another person or group they can sue for slander.  Since CoS has not even attempted this shows that there is some truth in the protests if not all true.  

 

Starcraft, i agree with you that a person should have the balls to show there face if they want to speak out at another group.  But if they do not then they have a right to protect themselves(at least in America).  If i cared enough to speak out against CoS i wouldn't hide behind a mask.  The fear for your life argument is weak at best.
