  abstract     = {{In Iceland a person (hereafter: X) posted a critical and defamatory comment on a Facebook page, calling a  well-known personality in Iceland, Mr. Einarsson, a rapist, although upon the completion of the police investigation the Public Prosecutor had dismissed all cases against him related to sexual offences. A District Court found that X’s comment on Facebook had been defamatory and declared the statements null and void. But it dismissed Einarsson’s claim for the imposition on X of a criminal punishment under the Penal Code, and it did not award Einarsson non-pecuniary damage. Before the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) Einarsson complained about a violation of his right to respect for his private life and reputation as provided in Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).}},
