Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

In previous comments the Committee noted the Public Order Decree No. 5 of 1979, as amended, communicated by the Government with its report of 1990. The Committee noted that public assemblies, meetings and processions on the public roads or places of public resort must be previously authorized and may be subject to certain directions and conditions (sections 1 to 4); offences may be punished by imprisonment for six months (section 3(c)) or two years (section 4(5)).

The Committee again requests the Government to provide information on the practical application of these provisions including information on any recent convictions under these provisions, penalties imposed and copies of relevant court decisions.
