- Germany: Federal Republic of Germany (1949-today)
- Case Description
The VG Frankfurt a. M. suspended a restriction that prohibited the slogan "From the river to the sea" at a public assembly, ruling the ban likely unlawful due to an insufficient danger prognosis regarding public safety. The ruling emphasizes that the slogan is multi-interpretable and not exclusively attributable to HAMAS, especially when the organizer explicitly advocates for a peaceful Palestine with equal rights for all. Since no concrete evidence linked the assembly to terrorist goals and the police anticipated a peaceful course, a blanket prohibition was deemed a disproportionate infringement on the freedoms of assembly and expression.
