安大略最高法院裁定,在疫情期间禁止抗议的COVID-19限制是违宪的。 Ontario's top court has ruled that COVID-19 restrictions which banned protests during the pandemic were unconstitutional. 这项裁决是在涉及前立法者Randy Hillier的案件中作出的,他被控组织反对流行病措施的抗议活动。 The decision came in a case involving former legislator Randy Hillier, who was charged for organizing protests against pandemic measures. 法院认定,虽然该省对婚礼等其他集会规定了例外,但抗议活动没有例外,抗议活动扼杀了和平集会的权利。 The court found that while the province made exceptions for other gatherings like weddings, there was no exemption for protests, which stifled the right to peaceful assembly.
