137_127 interference 127. On 23 April 2006 members and supporters of Ilinden gathered in front of Yane Sandanskis grave. At about 12 noon they were interrupted by the police, who told them that the time allowed by the Mayor had expired and they should disperse. The participants complied and left the area. According to the Government, the interruption was necessary following the insistence of other organisations. According to the applicants, no other organisations held commemorative events near Rozhen Monastery on that day; the real reason for the interruption was the desire of the police to prevent visitors to the Monastery from seeing Ilindens event.
