European media reported opposition rallies happen all the time. Rallies need permission from city authorities to happen. Permission was applied for the Kremlin square and denied. Alternative venues suggested by authorities and refused by organisers, which maintained original plan thus engaging in illegal activity and defying authorities. Organiser and several protesters arrested. Is there a country where protest marches and rallies do not need permission from, at least, city authorities to happen?
