Legal Body
European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) -
Type of Claim / Jurisdiction
Dismissal, Human Rights
The applicant alleged, in particular, that his dismissal from his university post following a critical email sent to the Rector constituted a violation of his right to freedom of expression guaranteed by Article 10 of the Convention.
