Abstract
The case we are providing below to the readers concerns the dismissal of a
television journalist working for the State television company after having
revealed several censoring interventions by one of his superiors. The dismissal
of applicant who published a book criticizing the state television company
he worked at for censorship constituted a violation of his right to free expression
under Article 10 of the Convention. The Court’s judgment confirms the
importance of whistleblower protection, in case of a journalist who informed
public opinion about censorship within the public broadcasting organisation.
