Russian citizen won a case against surveillance in the European Court of Human Rights
tl;dr Roman Zakharov, Russian journalist and activist, tried to sue Russian government since 2003 for intercepting his mobile telephone communications and the Russian laws on surveillance as unconstitutional. He failed and then went to the European Court of Human Rights, which ruled that Russian laws violate Article 8 of ECHR and forced Russia to pay 40,000 euro of compensation. Here is the text http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng?i=001-159324 It also has a good review of Russian laws about surveillance. -- https://nesterov.pw GPG key: 0CE8 65F1 9043 2B11 25A5 74A7 1187 6869 67AA 56E4 https://keybase.io/komachi/key.asc

What about 'human rights' in europe? I understand europe is a police state like russia and virtually the rest of world? I mean, come on? A bunch of european high-ranking shitbags pointing their fingers at their russian criminal 'colleagues'? And I, unlike Zennaan ( =P ) don't mean this as any kind of endorsement of the russian government...

So, do I understand correctly, that it would be better had the ECHR ruled otherwise? Or, what exactly is your problem with this bit of information? -- Pozdrawiam, Michał "rysiek" Woźniak Zmieniam klucz GPG :: http://rys.io/pl/147 GPG Key Transition :: http://rys.io/en/147

Yes. This is just hypocritical statist propaganda. Do I need to explain further why this is just propaganda? <--rhetorical question...
Or, what exactly is your problem with this bit of information?
See above.

"In a stunning reversal, the ECHR has ruled itself impotent, and moral hazard in perpetuating a belief that retroactive judicial action brings justice to earth humankind. In a gruesome show of contrition, they committed synchronous seppuku across the marble steps of the court house. Back you, Bob."
