Insult to the crown: Hásel case
Abstract
The confirmation by the Supreme Court of the sentence handed down by the Audiencia Nacional to Pablo Hásel for insulting the royal family and the police, as well as for glorifying terrorism, has once again put the focus of the legal debate on the criminal limits to freedom of expression and opinion. This paper analyses the punishment of the offences of insulting the Crown in these rulings in the light of the protective standards of the European Court of Human Rights, which has already condemned Spain in similar cases for infringing art. 10 of the ECHR
