| Comment | Human Rights Act, Article 11, Freedom to Assemble:
Everyone has the right to freedom of **peaceful** assembly
No restrictions shall be placed on the exercise of these rights other than such as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security or **public safety** or for the protection of the **rights and freedoms of others**
So again, I'll happily accept there's an argument over whether the OO marches are peaceful, affect public safety and/or are detrimental to the rights and freedoms of others, but if anyone here is making a lazy argument it's you acting like the right to assemble is universal when it morally, ethically, and legally, is not. |
