In which case is balance between religious freedom and public order necessary?

Correct answer: When a religious procession risks violence or serious disorder

Correct answer: B, when a religious procession risks violence or serious disorder. Freedom of religion protects a person’s right to hold beliefs, practise them and express them lawfully. However, this freedom is not a licence to harm other people or disturb public peace. Public order means the peaceful and safe functioning of society. If a procession is likely to cause violence, clashes or serious disorder, authorities may regulate its route, timing or conditions in a lawful and proportionate manner. A and C describe peaceful private worship, where no public-order conflict is indicated. D concerns education in one’s language and is connected more closely with cultural and educational rights, not this balance. The important distinction is between belief itself, which deserves protection, and harmful conduct that threatens safety. Memory cue: faith is protected, violence is not.
