Why is the right to peaceful assembly important for protecting human rights?

Because it lets people raise a collective voice against injustice

The governing concept is peaceful democratic participation. Individuals often have limited power alone, but lawful meetings, marches, and demonstrations allow people to share concerns, express dissent, support affected groups, and demand accountability. Option A is correct because peaceful assembly creates a collective voice against injustice and can draw attention to rights violations. The right does not make violence necessary; option B confuses peaceful protest with unlawful conduct. Option C is wrong because assembly does not close courts, and option D is false because participation in a protest does not remove the right to vote. Reasonable, lawful restrictions may protect public safety, but they should not silence legitimate criticism.
