What is freedom of assembly and association?
The right to freedom of assembly and association, which is protected by law in Scotland, guarantees that people can join with others to collectively express, promote, pursue and defend their interests.
This right enables people to express their political opinions, join trade unions, engage in religious observances, engage in artistic pursuits, and elect their representatives and hold them accountable.
