Abstract
In a judgment of 22 March 2016 the European Court of Human Rights found that Portugal has violated a journalist’s right to report about the hearing in a criminal case. The European Court emphasises that the domestic court hearing was public and that the criminal conviction of the journalist for having broadcast unauthorised recordings of statements of witnesses during the hearing was not necessary in a democratic society. Therefore the journalist’s conviction amounted to a breach of Article 10 of the European Convention.
