Case 256_97

256_97 interference 97. In the present case, the Court observes that according to the documents in the case file the demonstration of 14 July 2008 was organised by the DTP to protest about the conditions of detention of Abdullah Öcalan. The Court notes that nothing in the case file suggests that this demonstration was not intended to be peaceful or that the organisers had violent intentions. The Court further observes that the applicant claimed that when he first joined the demonstrators, he started walking and chanting slogans with them. Thus, he had the intention of showing support for Mr Öcalan, but not of behaving violently when he started demonstrating, and these submissions were not contested by the Government. Besides, there is nothing in the domestic courts’ decisions showing that the applicant had violent intentions when he joined the demonstration. What is more, the charges against the applicant did not concern infliction of any bodily harm on anyone. The Court therefore accepts that during the events of 14 July 2008 the applicant enjoyed the protection of Article 11 of the Convention (compare Primov 38 GÜLCÜ v. TURKEY JUDGMENT and Others v. Russia, no. 17391/06, § 156, 12 June 2014), as also acknowledged by the Government.
