Foiling

The Youth League staged a demonstration in the town protesting the foiling of its central council today.



Foiling in the sense that the police prevented the people from gathering. Is the sentence above correct? Is there any other way I can write it?



Thanks

No, it doesn't really make sense; 'foil' generally relates to preventing an evil act. The Youth League staged a demonstration in the town protesting the prevention by police of its central council meeting today.
