Germany Got Called Out by Europe’s Top Court

A protester in Germany got fined for wearing a DIY plastic visor at a big demo, but now the European Court of Human Rights says that was a violation of his freedom to assemble. The court basically told Germany: you can’t just punish peaceful protesters for wearing makeshift gear unless it’s really a threat. Wild how a piece of plastic sparked a whole human rights debate! #HumanRights #Protest #ECHR #FreedomOfAssembly #Germany
