The committee held that the said law which stipulates that "any demonstration likely to pose a direct threat to social order should not be allowed" is ambiguous in the standard to judge it.

In fact, there is great possibility of rallies and demonstrations critical of the "government" policies being banned in advance by the above-said law as the right to judge the "direct threat" is in the hands of the police authorities, the committee noted, and continued:

The "law on assembly and demonstration" infringing upon the freedom of assembly is illegal.

On Oct. 9 the Seoul Central District Court filed a suit in the "Constitutional Court", recognizing the illegality of some of the provisions of the above-mentioned law.
