Article 1(a) of the Convention. The Committee notes with satisfaction that Act No. 20 of 1995 has repealed the Sunday Observance Decree, 1989, under which it was prohibited to convene, organize or take part in an assembly -- including one for the expression of views -- or procession in any public place on a Sunday, subject to penalties of imprisonment (involving an obligation to work).

The Committee refers also to certain points raised in a request addressed directly to the Government.
