Parliament Discussion on Regulations for Gatherings
May 29, 2025
The government and Parliament are trying to reach an agreement on a bill that regulates gatherings and criminalizes the wearing of masks. There are concerns, mainly from AKEL, due to a recent European Court decision related to freedom of expression. The process of dispersing gatherings depends on Police decisions, and organizers will only be held accountable for specific offenses. Parliament hopes to conclude the discussion on the bill soon.
