We are fighting in court to ensure that the fundamental right of freedom of assembly, which is essential to democracy, is not unduly restricted—neither by unlawful police violence nor by disproportionate restrictions. Democracy needs strong fundamental rights and a diverse society in which people can openly express their opinions and freely obtain information. This also includes being able to take to the streets together and protest.
