Psara v. European Parliament
Regul
Regul
Given that the Government of the Gambia did not contest the allegations concerning the arrest, detention, expulsion, and intimidation of journalists for articles they had published, the Commission concluded that those actions not only deprived journalists of their right to disseminate opinions but also violated the right of the public to information.
The en banc review of the Sixth Circuit reversed its previous judgment and determined that the Bible Believers’ speech was protected by the First Amendment even if it could be considered offensive and loathsome. The court also concluded that the Wayne County officials effectuated a heckler’s veto which violated the First Amendment. Wayne County did not prove a legitimate interest in order to limit the right to freedom of expression of the Bible Believers.
