Case 397_87
397_87 personal_scope
87. The Court has previously held that the assembly at Bolotnaya Square
on 6 May 2012 fell within the scope of Article 11 of the Convention (see
Yaroslav Belousov v. Russia, nos. 2653/13 and 60980/14, §§ 168-72,
4 October 2016). As regards the applicants personally, it is common ground
that they were not among those responsible for the initial acts of aggression
which contributed to the deterioration of the assembly’s initial peaceful ZAKHAROV AND VARZHABETYAN v. RUSSIA JUDGMENT
19character. Article 11 is applicable to both applicants’ complaints (see
Razvozzhayev and Udaltsov, cited above, §§ 282-86).
