The right to public assembly and peaceful protests is one of the fundamental human rights. This right is the foundation of democracy and the rule of law. This right gives individuals the ability to shape the society in which they live and to influence the decisions of the state government. Although the right to public assembly and peaceful protests is not absolute and there are restrictions, the failure of the state authorities to ensure this right is a sign of repression and requires all condemnation. The exercise of the right to peaceful protest, which complements and intersects with other civil and political human rights, has never been so questionable as it was two years ago during the Covid-19 epidemics. The epidemic brought a challenge on how and in what way to enable public gatherings, and not endanger people's health, and adhere to the measures adopted by the governments and Civil Protection Headquarters of all countries. Although banned in most countries, protests took place in some new innovative forms at the beginning of the epidemic, and after a while citizens took to the streets again to protest against measures that threatened the basic human rights. This paper deals with the right to public assembly and peaceful protests and the exercise of that right during the Covid-19 epidemic.
