Turning to the circumstances of the present case and having examined the domestic decisions, the Court is not satisfied that the applicants’ right to exercise their freedom of expression was properly taken into consideration during the examination of the administrative-offence charges against them. The Court has doubts as to whether the administrative-offence procedure was conceptualised, or at least applied, in such a way as to allow the freedom-of-expression arguments to have any weight and to accommodate a proportionality analysis or, at least, an assessment leading to a result which would be proportionate in the particular circumstances of a given case (see, however, paragraph 70 above; see, for comparison, Alim v. Russia, no. 39417/07, § 95, 27 September 2011).
