2) There was no interference with the Defendants’ work by generating noise at the same level as the stated in the facts charged and obstructing the victims’ work.

3) The Defendants in violation of the Act used the road within the necessary scope of assembly or demonstration, and it cannot be deemed that the permission of the road management agency should be obtained separately from the report of assembly, and the Defendants merely did not obtain permission from the road management agency as to whether the permission of the road management agency was separately required in addition to the report of assembly. Thus, the Defendants cannot be held liable to commit the violation of the Act against the Defendants.

B. The sentence sentenced by the lower court to the Defendants (eight months of imprisonment, two years of suspended sentence) is too unreasonable.
