Parliament approves bill recognizing right to assembly

The Iranian Parliament on Tuesday passed a bill that recognized the right of all individuals to hold and take part in gatherings and rallies days after recent protests over livelihood hardships caused a serious security crisis for the country.
During an open session of the legislative chamber, lawmakers reviewed a report by the Parliamentary Committee on Internal Affairs and Councils regarding a bill on regulating the staging gatherings and rallies, in implementation of Article 27 of the Constitution, IRNA reported.
After hearing the views of both supporters and opponents, the MPs voted in favor of Article 2 of the bill.
The article was ratified with 223 votes in favor, three votes against, and no abstentions.
According to the approved and amended text of Article 2, all individuals enjoy the right to organize and hold gatherings and marches, or to participate in them, within the framework of Article 27 of the Constitution and other relevant laws.
A note appended to the article specifies one of the key conditions for holding demonstrations, stating that applicants seeking to organize gatherings or marches must not have an effective criminal record relevant to the matter.
