It does seem, law as written, that this is the case, even to the Nazi extreme. That's because it was a knee-jerk hastily, badly, written piece of legislation that was ~~passed~~ rammed through with the help of the Liberals, always a bad sign.
That's the generous position, less generously it could have been sitting there waiting for an excuse (never let a good crisis go to waste and all that), intended to further dampen and complicate the right to protest.
