With this court decision, the defendants, who had been acquitted before, were sentenced to severe prison terms without any definitive and clear evidence... 25/01/2022 | 18:10:00 Thank you Mr Chairman. First of all I would like to thank Madam Rapporteur for this timely and very important report. We discussed many times in the Parliamentary Assembly how important media is for democratic functioning.
