Case 341_97
341_97 personal_scope
97. It is important for the public authorities, moreover, to show a certain
degree of tolerance towards peaceful gatherings, even unlawful ones, if the
freedom of assembly guaranteed by Article 11 of the Convention is not to
be deprived of all substance (see Oya Ataman, cited above, §§ 37 and 39).
The limits of tolerance expected towards an unlawful assembly depend on
the specific circumstances, including the duration and the extent of public
disturbance caused by it, and whether its participants had been given
sufficient opportunity to manifest their views (see Cisse v. France,
no. 51346/99, §§ 51-52, ECHR 2002-III; Éva Molnár v. Hungary,
no. 10346/05, §§ 42-43, 7 October 2008; Navalnyy and Yashin v. Russia,
no. 76204/11, §§ 63-64, 4 December 2014; and Kudrevičius and Others,
cited above, §§ 155-57 and 176-77).
