@borderless_eire@JimAllister Articles 10 and 11 of the ECHR protect the marchers as well as protest. Neither side has a right to prevent the other from assembling, but protest can be restricted where needed toprotect others' rights.
Ordinary public order law still applies.
@borderless_eire@JimAllister Incorrect.
A protest aimed at a parade is itself regulated. The Public Processions Act 1998 and a 2005 amendment gave the Parades Commission authority over parades-related protests, so it can place restrictions on both public processions and related protest meetings
@borderless_eire@JimAllister Of course they do. In the numbers applied for to the PSNI. But they do not have the right to break the law and block the road.
