Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal ban on public invitations to Heilsarmee assemblies violated freedom of expression or cult freedom.
Solution extraite
The court held that the measure concerned only the publicity of the assemblies, not freedom of expression, and its review fell under cult freedom rather than federal judicial competence.
Motifs extraits
Following earlier case law, the prohibition of public invitations to Heilsarmee meetings was treated as a restriction on the publicity of worship assemblies. Such complaints are to be assessed under Art. 50 BV, and the Federal Court is not competent to hear them.
