#LGBT Assemblies
The Court has consistently 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 (

#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).
