The applicant, Serbian-Chinese Friendship Society FDH, is an organisation based in Belgrade. The case concerns the applicant society’s attempt to hold public protests in Belgrade against the alleged persecution of Falun Gong in the People’s Republic of China. Falun Gong describes itself as a spiritual practice rooted in the Buddhist tradition. The protests were ultimately banned by the Serbian authorities on the grounds of public safety. In particular, they considered that the gatherings were timed to coincide with the official visit of the Chinese President on 17 and 18 June 2016, which could have led to counter-demonstrations and clashes.
