ECHR rules in favour of pro-life campaigners
Published: November 26th, 2015
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has ruled that the German government was wrong to ban a pro-life protester from distributing leaflets outside abortion facilities.
On Thursday, the court said that Klaus Guenter Annen "undoubtedly contributed to a highly controversial debate of public interest" and ruled that the 2007 ban violated his freedom of expression. Mr Annen described the outcome as a "victory for freedom of expression for all of Europe".
