Case 407_14
407_14 interference
14. The Court refers to its finding that the gathering in question fell
within the scope of Article 11 of the Convention (see Navalnyy v. Russia
[GC], nos. 29580/12 and 4 others, §§ 110-12, 15 November 2018). It
considers that in the present case the applicants’ intentions and conduct
were also covered by the notion of peaceful assembly, even though the
participants’ initial purpose was to attend a court hearing and not to hold an
assembly. It finds that the applicants’ arrests, transfer to the police station
and the ensuing sanctions constituted an interference with the right to
freedom of peaceful assembly under Article 11 §
