35_109 interference 109. As regards Article 11 of the Convention: - the applicant’s right to demonstrate under Article 11 of the Convention was interfered with in an aggravated and serious manner; - the acts of the Government were a deliberate and provocative attempt to disrupt a lawful demonstration in an area which was the subject of UN patrols and not within even the claimed jurisdiction of the ‘TRNC’; - the interference with the applicant’s rights was not prescribed by law and was an excessive and disproportionate response to the peaceful and lawful demonstration. The Government have not identified in their current observations any legitimate aim that they were seeking to serve by committing these assaults upon the applicant.
