There are no restrictions of the freedom of peaceful assembly, and freedom of association for minorities. Restrictions on freedom of assembly can be provided if the meeting is aimed at planning a crime, rioting or breach of local regulations. In Sweden the legislation on freedom of assembly is regulated in the Constitution Act and the Public Order Act (1993:1617). The Public Order Act regulates, inter alia, permit requirements and / or notification of a public meeting and the police the right to suspend, disband and banning public gatherings.
