Turkey, by blocking access to YouTube, has violated the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) made such a decision Tuesday in Strasbourg, France.
“The ECtHR unanimously ruled that there was a violation of Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights,” reported TASS news agency of Russia.
The respective petition was filed with the ECtHR by a group of Turkish human rights activists, when Ankara had blocked Turkey residents’ access to YouTube, from May 5, 2008 to October 30, 2010.
