\u0160odien Bambergas re\u0123ion\u0101l\u0101 tiesa otraj\u0101 instanc\u0113 vi\u0146u attaisnoja.<\/p>\n
ESN grupas Eiropas Parlamenta deput\u0101te Mary Khan koment\u0113ja:<\/p>\n
\u201c\u0160\u012b lieta jau no pa\u0161a s\u0101kuma bija daudz vair\u0101k nek\u0101 tikai juridisks str\u012bds par vienu memu. T\u0101 bija politiski noz\u012bm\u012bga lieta, kas ne\u017e\u0113l\u012bgi atkl\u0101ja, cik trausla ir k\u013cuvusi v\u0101rda br\u012bv\u012bba un preses br\u012bv\u012bba, ja uz kritiku pret vald\u012bbu arvien bie\u017e\u0101k tiek atbild\u0113ts ar krimin\u0101lties\u012bb\u0101m. Sat\u012brisks izteikums \u2014 kas jau sen ir bijis demokr\u0101tisko deba\u0161u pamat\u0101 \u2014 tika kriminaliz\u0113ts. T\u0101d\u0113j\u0101di V\u0101cijas Krimin\u0101lkodeksa (StGB) 188. pants arvien vair\u0101k k\u013c\u016bst par iebied\u0113\u0161anas instrumentu pret ne\u0113rtiem viedok\u013ciem un kritisko \u017eurn\u0101listiku. Tas, ka \u0161is skandalozais spriedums tagad ir atcelts, ir sen gaid\u012bts solis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Uz br\u012bv\u012bbu orient\u0113t\u0101 ES deput\u0101te Petra Steger ar\u012b skaidri atzin\u012bgi nov\u0113rt\u0113ja attaisnojo\u0161o spriedumu:<\/p>\n
\u201c\u0160odienas attaisnojo\u0161ais spriedums ir sapr\u0101ta uzvara p\u0101r politisko p\u0101rlieku j\u016bt\u012bgumu. Ja \u017eurn\u0101listus velk uz tiesu par asu, sat\u012brisku kritiku pret vald\u012bbas locek\u013ciem, tad demokr\u0101tija netiek aizsarg\u0101ta \u2014 tai tiek nodar\u012bts kait\u0113jums. Br\u012bvai sabiedr\u012bbai j\u0101sp\u0113j paciest kritiku, p\u0101rsp\u012bl\u0113jumus un pat provok\u0101cijas, it \u012bpa\u0161i, ja t\u0101s ir v\u0113rstas pret tiem, kas atrodas pie varas.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stegers ar\u012b br\u012bdin\u0101ja par b\u012bstamu tendenci attieksm\u0113 pret vald\u012bbai kritiski noska\u0146otajiem pla\u0161sazi\u0146as l\u012bdzek\u013ciem:<\/p>\n
\u201c\u012apa\u0161i satrauco\u0161i ir tas, ka \u0161\u0101das lietas gandr\u012bz vien\u012bgi skar kritiskos \u017eurn\u0101listus, kuri neiev\u0113ro partijas l\u012bniju. Krimin\u0101lties\u012bbas nekad nedr\u012bkst \u013caunpr\u0101t\u012bgi izmantot, lai pasarg\u0101tu politisk\u0101s varas p\u0101rst\u0101vjus no izsmiekla, kritikas vai sabiedr\u012bbas p\u0101rbaudes. Tie, kas sat\u012bru kriminaliz\u0113, paver ce\u013cu cenz\u016brai.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nobeigum\u0101 Mary Khan uzsv\u0113ra:<\/p>\n
\u201c\u0160odienas spriedums ir ne tikai person\u012bgs pan\u0101kums Deividam Bendelsam, bet ar\u012b svar\u012bgs sign\u0101ls visiem \u017eurn\u0101listiem un pilso\u0146iem Eirop\u0101. V\u0101rda br\u012bv\u012bba nav valsts pie\u0161\u0137irta privil\u0113\u0123ija, bet neat\u0146emama pamatties\u012bba. Ja v\u0101rda br\u012bv\u012bba mirst, tad kop\u0101 ar to mirst ar\u012b br\u012bv\u012bba, demokr\u0101tija un tiesiskums.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
