FREEDOM OF THOUGHT AND CONSCIENCE

POLITICAL SARTORIAL FREEDOM McFeeley v UK (1981) Refusal to wear prison clothing is not a protected Convention right

PACIFISM Arrowsmith v UK (1981) Is within Art 9 but did not justify the offence of disaffection

VEGANISM H v UK (1993) Also within Art 9 but margin of appreciation justified prison work

PRO-LIFE Connolly v DPP (2007) Entitled to belief but not to send photographs of aborted fetuses

Larissis and others were Greek air force officers who proselytised subordinate servicemen and civilians with their Pentecostal Church beliefs. Their appeals against conviction were dismissed and they applied to the Commission alleging breach of their Arts 9 and 10 rights.
