  abstract     = {{The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in a judgment of 9 July 2024 found once more a violation by the Turkish authorities of the right to freedom of expression of political speech via social media as guaranteed by Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The case concerns the conviction to a prison sentence combined with a measure of suspension of the pronouncement of the judgment of Suphi Gümüş on account of content he posted on Facebook. Referring to its judgment in the case of Durukan and Birol v. Türkiye (IRIS 2023-10:1/22) the ECtHR found that the interference with Gümüş’ rights under Article 10 ECHR did not afford the requisite protection against arbitrary abuse by the public authorities. Most importantly the ECtHR rejected the Turkish Government’s claim as if Gümüş’ posts on Facebook could not be protected by Article 10 ECHR because the impugned posts fell within the ambit of the abuse clause of Article 17 ECHR.}},
