ANR deception?

The ANR is spreading the allegation that the anti-fascist protestors at the ANR demonstration were breaking the law because they assembled without the necessary permit.

The Public Meetings Ordinance states that:

"meeting" or "public meeting" means any gathering of more than
twenty persons assembled for the public discussion of any matter,
in any public street, square or open space and includes a
demonstration;

Thus, in my amateur interpretation it means that Graffitti and Fr. Mark did not necessitate a permit for their demonstration because as even the ANR acknowledges they were less then 20. Why is ANR mentioning the figure of 10 persons? Whence did they get the number from?

They probably got it from Article 68 of the Criminal Code, which states:

Whosoever shall take an active part in an assembly of ten or
more persons for the purpose of committing an offence, although
the said assembly may not have been incited by any one in
particular, shall, on conviction, be liable to imprisonment for a term
from three days to three months or to a fine (multa).

The problem lies here. Are the ANR saying that Graffitti and Fr. Mark were committing an offence by being expressing their disapproval? Or are they implying that it should be?

Thanks goes to a good friend of mine for help with this entry. Thanks mate.
