Case 206_53

206_53 substantive_scope 53. As regards the Governments claim of inapplicability of Article 11, the Court reiterates that Article 11 of the Convention only protects the right to peaceful assembly, a notion which does not cover a demonstration where the organisers and participants have violent intentions (see Kudrevi.ius and Others v. Lithuania [GC], no. 37553/05, 92, ECHR 2015). It notes that it has already examined and dismissed a similar claim by the Government, finding that there was not sufficient and convincing evidence to conclude that the organisers and the participants of the assembly at Freedom Square had had violent intentions and that the assembly in question had not been peaceful (see Mushegh Saghatelyan v. Armenia, no. 23086/08, 229-233, 20 September 2018). The Court therefore rejects this objection.
