A French administrative court has suspended a ban on a planned pro-Palestinian demonstration in Paris, ruling that the rally does not constitute a risk to public order.
The court's decision overturns an earlier prohibition that had sought to prevent the demonstration from going ahead, clearing the way for organizers to proceed as planned.
According to the ruling, judges determined that the planned gathering did not present a sufficient threat to public safety or order to justify the ban imposed by local authorities.
The decision effectively reinstates the right of organizers to hold the demonstration in Paris. No further details were immediately available regarding the exact date, location or expected turnout for the rally, nor whether the authorities that issued the original ban intend to appeal the court's ruling.
The case reflects the recurring legal questions in France over the policing of demonstrations related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, where authorities have at times sought to restrict public gatherings citing public-order concerns.
