The distinction reflects heightened security concerns following recent violent clashes, with authorities seeking to limit public gatherings that could escalate tensions. The decision underscores a targeted approach to managing protests amid ongoing civil unrest. Authorities appear focused on preventing broader disorder while allowing limited expressions of dissent.
