Onder 21 Parket bij de Hoge Raad 19 september 2023

Een alinea uit Parket bij de Hoge Raad 19 september 2023, ECLI:NL:PHR:2023:815.

172. In this respect, the present case has more similarities with the cases of Lucas (cited above), where the applicant blocked a public road in order to protest against the retention of a nuclear submarine, and Barraco (cited above), concerning the applicant’s participation in a form of protest resulting in a severe slowing-down of the flow of traffic. As in Steel and Others and Drieman and Others (both cited above), the Court found that the sanctions imposed on the applicants (four hours’ detention in a police van and a fine of 150 pounds sterling in Lucas, and a three-month suspended prison sentence and a fine of 1,500 euros in Barraco ) were “necessary in a democratic society” within the meaning of Article 11 § 2 of the Convention. The Court further notes that in Barraco the disruption to traffic lasted only five hours (as opposed to more than forty-eight hours in the present case) and that only one highway (as opposed to three) had been affected.
