| Description | Th is article examines the European Court of Human Rights’ (ECHR) decision in Friedrich and Others v. Poland (Application No. 25344/20), a signifi cant case addressing the balance between state intervention and civil liberties during environmental protests. Greenpeace activists and journalists were detained during a peaceful demonstration in Gdańsk, raising key issues regarding the rights to liberty and freedom of expression under Articles 5 and 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. By analysing these decisions, the article highlights the evolving legal landscape surrounding civil libertes and environmental activism, underscoring the ECHR’s role in ensuring that state measures do not unduly infringe on fundamental freedoms. Furthermore, it provides examples from the Czech case law, most notably the recent ruling of the Constitutional Court No. I. ÚS 2956/23. |
