Glosa do wyroku Europejskiego Trybunału Praw Człowieka z 28 sierpnia 2018 r. w sprawie Savva Terentyev p. Rosji (10692/09)
Commentary on the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights of 28 August 2018, 10692/09, Savva Terentyev v. Russia

Summary/Abstract: In Savva Terentyev v. Russia, the European Court of Human Rights, for the first time in its history, has made extensive reference to the question of who should and who should not be protected by a hate speech law. The author understands the judgment as expressing the Court’s conviction, he shares, that police officers form a social group which does not have permanent features making it particularly vulnerable and therefore, generally, does not require special protection against hate speech. Only exceptionally, in the face of intense aggression against officers or the growing atmosphere of hatred surrounding them, that has the potential to transform into acts of aggression, police officers as a group should become a beneficiary of a law protecting against hate speech.
