Case 256_102
256_102 interference
102. Having regard to the above, the Court considers that the judgments
of 11 November 2008 and 20 December 2012 and the applicant’s detention,
both pending trial and for the execution of his sentence, entailed real and
effective restraint and had a deterrent effect on the applicant’s exercise of
his right to freedom of assembly. As a result, the Court concludes that the
applicant’s criminal convictions for membership of the PKK, dissemination
of propaganda in support of the PKK and resistance to the police contained
in the aforementioned judgments, as well as the imposition upon him of
prison sentences and his detention between 21 July 2008 and 25 July 2010,
constituted interference with his right to freedom of assembly as guaranteed
by Article 11 of the Convention.40 GÜLCÜ v. TURKEY JUDGMENT
