SECOND SECTION
Application no. 9413/22
Mine PARLAS against Türkiye
and 49 other applications
(see list appended)
communicated on 27 May 2024
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
All the applications listed below (see appendix) concern the criminal conviction of the applicants to prison sentences combined with a measure of suspension of the pronouncement of the judgment for disseminating propaganda in favour of a terrorist organisation.
Relying on Article 10 of the Convention, the applicants complain about their convictions and subsequent application of the measure of suspension of the pronouncement of the judgment for the following acts: publications on social media accounts, public speeches, participation in a demonstration or a funeral accompanied, in certain cases, by the carrying of banners or chanting slogans.
QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES
Has there been an interference with the applicants’ right to freedom of expression, within the meaning of Article 10 § 1 of the Convention by their conviction to prison sentences combined with a measure of suspension of the pronouncement of the judgment?
If so, was that interference in accordance with the law and necessary in terms of Article 10 § 2?
Was the measure of the suspension of the pronouncement of the judgment imposed on the applicants prescribed by a legal basis defining the scope and modalities of this measure with sufficient clarity to enable the applicants to enjoy the degree of protection required by the rule of law in a democratic society (Durukan and Birol v. Türkiye, nos. 14879/20 and 13440/21, §§ 62-68, 3 October 2023)?
