\u0160iandien Bambergo apygardos teismas antrosios instancijos teisme j\u012f i\u0161teisino.<\/p>\n
ESN grup\u0117s Europos Parlamento nar\u0117 Mary Khan pakomentavo:<\/p>\n
\u201c\u0160i byla nuo pat prad\u017ei\u0173 buvo kur kas daugiau nei teisinis gin\u010das d\u0117l vieno mem\u0173. Tai buvo politinis signalinis atvejis, negailestingai atskleid\u0119s, kaip trapi tapo savirai\u0161kos ir spaudos laisv\u0117, kai \u012f vyriausyb\u0117s kritik\u0105 vis da\u017eniau atsakoma baud\u017eiamosios teis\u0117s priemon\u0117mis. Satyrinis k\u016brinys \u2013 ilg\u0105 laik\u0105 buv\u0119s pa\u010dioje demokratini\u0173 diskusij\u0173 \u0161erdyje \u2013 buvo kriminalizuotas. Taigi Vokietijos baud\u017eiamojo kodekso (StGB) 188 straipsnis vis labiau tampa bauginimo priemone prie\u0161 nepatogias nuomones ir kriti\u0161k\u0105 \u017eurnalistik\u0105. Tai, kad \u0161is skandalingas sprendimas dabar buvo panaikintas, yra seniai lauktas \u017eingsnis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Laisv\u0117ms pritarian\u010dioji ES Parlamento nar\u0117 Petra Steger taip pat ai\u0161kiai palankiai \u012fvertino i\u0161teisinim\u0105:<\/p>\n
\u201c\u0160iandieninis i\u0161teisinimas yra proto pergal\u0117 prie\u0161 politin\u012f perd\u0117t\u0105 jautrum\u0105. Kai \u017eurnalistai yra tempiami \u012f teism\u0105 u\u017e a\u0161tri\u0105, satyrin\u0119 vyriausyb\u0117s nari\u0173 kritik\u0105, demokratija n\u0117ra saugoma \u2013 jai daroma \u017eala. Laisva visuomen\u0117 privalo sugeb\u0117ti i\u0161tverti kritik\u0105, perd\u0117tas i\u0161rai\u0161kas ir net provokacijas, ypa\u010d kai jos nukreiptos \u012f vald\u017eioje esan\u010dius asmenis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stegeris taip pat \u012fsp\u0117jo apie pavojing\u0105 tendencij\u0105, susijusi\u0105 su po\u017ei\u016briu \u012f vyriausybei kriti\u0161k\u0105 \u017einiasklaid\u0105:<\/p>\n
\u201cYpa\u010d nerim\u0105 kelia tai, kad tokie procesai beveik i\u0161imtinai palie\u010dia kriti\u0161kai nusiteikusius \u017eurnalistus, kurie nesilaiko nustatytos linijos. Baud\u017eiamasis \u012fstatymas jokiu b\u016bdu neturi b\u016bti piktnaud\u017eiaujamas siekiant apsaugoti politin\u0119 vald\u017ei\u0105 nuo pa\u0161aipos, kritikos ar vie\u0161osios prie\u017ei\u016bros. Tie, kurie kriminalizuoja satyr\u0105, atveria keli\u0105 cenz\u016brai.\u201d<\/p>\n
Baigdama Mary Khan pabr\u0117\u017e\u0117:<\/p>\n
\u201c\u0160iandienos sprendimas yra ne tik asmenin\u0117 Davido Bendels s\u0117km\u0117, bet ir svarbus signalas visiems Europos \u017eurnalistams ir pilie\u010diams. Savirai\u0161kos laisv\u0117 n\u0117ra valstyb\u0117s suteikta privilegija, o neatimama pagrindin\u0117 teis\u0117. Jei \u017eus savirai\u0161kos laisv\u0117, kartu su ja \u017eus ir laisv\u0117, demokratija bei teisin\u0117 valstyb\u0117.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
