I intervened in the case of Nikoleta Zereliga and Others v. Greece concerning the #HumanRights of Roma communities living in an informal settlement. I consider that eviction, or the risk of an eviction, without providing alternative housing, can disproportionately jeopardise their rights. Read my third-party intervention before the #ECtHR #ECHR

🧑⚖️ Strasbourg is scrutinizing Germany’s surveillance: Reporters Without Borders says it filed complaints over BND state trojans and telecom surveillance—now treated as “test cases” by the ECtHR. Germany must reply by October. The issue could affect everyone’s IT security. https://www.heise.de/en/news/Strasbourg-prueft-deutsche-Ueberwachung-Geheimdienste-11348378.html 🔎📱 #PressFreedom #Surveillance #BND #ECtHR #Cybersecurity

@tony The #UKgov has only 2 possible levels of appeal:
1/ to the Court of Appeal (#EWCA)
2/ to the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom (#UKSC). The #HomeSecretary #ShabanaMahmood says she wants to appeal, but I dunno if leave to appeal has been granted.Both levels of appeal would probably take ~18–24 months to get a final answer from UK courts.
However, if the UK courts back the govt, then #HudaAmmori could appeal to the European Court of Human Rights (#ECtHR). Probably another 2–3 years.

@ChrisMayLA6 Yes! That reliance on the #EU to avoid domestic debates also applied to the #ECHR. e.g. both gays in military and #genderRecognition were explicitly based on #ECtHR rulings rather than on democratic debate, even tho both were easily winnable at home.
And of course, the UK has never tried to de-imperialise. Most Brits are staggeringly ignorant both about imperial history and global revulsion at #BritishEmpire.
Both Labour & Tories speak of Britain "leading". Imperial entitlement

I intervened in the #ECtHR case on #Georgia’s Transparency of Foreign Influence Law, lodged by 120 civil society organisations, 16 media outlets and 4 individuals. The law restricts #FreedomOfExpression and #FreedomOfAssociation.

The European Court of Human Right is 'more necessary and relevant' now, says the #ECtHR's outgoing UK judge Tim Eicke KC. https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/ecthr-more-necessary-and-relevant-now-says-outgoing-uk-judge/5124728.article
Tim Eicke is of course right. But the #ECHR is under sustained attack from the #UK's billionaire-owned media, and opinion polls give 50% of the vote to parties committed to leaving the convention: #ReformUK and the #ConservativeParty.
The #LabourParty (#LINO) is only lukewarm about the convention. It looks like defeat has already been conceded 😞

Detailed analysis of Caster Semenya case at Verfassungsblog:
“Caster Semenya was wronged, and Switzerland – due to the inaction of the Swiss Federal Supreme Court (SFSC) – was held responsible by the Grand Chamber (GC) of the ECtHR….
This conclusion to a long judicial marathon is an important vindication for an athlete who saw her career destroyed by a process that violated her right to a fair hearing.”

Do cases that #LGBTQI+ Russians and Poles win against their states at the European Court of Human Rights change anything? Do they get the #justice they were looking for?
