Abstract
|
|
|
|
| In the case Melike v. Turkey, the ECHR found that the dismissal of a public administration’s employee for liking a politically sensitive Facebook post violated the freedom of expression. The Court reiterated that an employee’s duty of loyalty and discretion does not remove the obligation of the authority to carefully balance the public interest in tranquillity at the workplace, on the one hand, and the freedom of expression of the employee, on the other. |
