#Specific Applications
1. **Political Demonstrations**:
- Individuals participating in political demonstrations are protected under Article 11. For instance, the applicant in case
202_23 participated in a demonstration organized by a political bloc, and the Court recognized this as an exercise of his right to freedom of assembly (
202_23). Similarly, the applicant in case
214_6 took part in a march and was subsequently detained, which was recognized as an interference with her right to freedom of assembly (
214_6,
214_7).
2. **Trade Union Activities**:
- Members of trade unions participating in demonstrations related to their union activities are protected. For example, the applicant in case
246_6 participated in a demonstration organized by her trade union, and the Court recognized this as an exercise of her right to freedom of assembly (
246_6,
246_11). The Court has also found violations of Article 11 in cases where disciplinary sanctions were imposed on individuals for their participation in trade union activities (
229_12,
229_17,
229_19,
229_21).
3. **Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)**:
- Members of NGOs participating in protests are protected under Article 11. For instance, the applicants in case
220_5 were members of an NGO and participated in a protest, which was recognized as an exercise of their right to freedom of assembly (
220_5). The Court has also recognized the standing of NGOs to bring complaints on behalf of their members (
248_21,
249_46).
4. **LGBT Assemblies**:
- The Court has addressed cases involving the right to hold LGBT public assemblies. In case
227_9, the applicants complained of a ban on LGBT assemblies and discriminatory treatment by the authorities. The Court found that the ban did not correspond to a pressing social need and was not necessary in a democratic society (
227_9,
227_21). Similar findings were made in case
255_7, where the Court recognized the discriminatory treatment of LGBT individuals in relation to their right to freedom of assembly (
255_7,
255_8).
5. **Minors**:
- The Court has taken into account the age of participants, particularly minors, when assessing the proportionality of interferences with their right to freedom of assembly. In case
256_115, the Court noted the extreme severity of penalties imposed on a minor and emphasized the need for special consideration of their age (
256_115).
6. **Observers and Human Rights Defenders**:
- Observers and human rights defenders are included within the personal scope of Article 11. For instance, the applicant in case
225_14 was a human rights activist and participated in a public event, which was recognized as an exercise of his right to freedom of assembly (
225_14,
225_21,
225_22,
225_23,
225_24).
