issued by the Registrar of the Court   ECHR 170 (2022)   31.05.2022   Judgments of 31 May 2022   The European Court of Human Rights has today given notification in writing of five judgments1:   two Chamber judgments are summarised below;   separate press releases have been issued for two other Chamber judgments in the cases of Arnar   Helgi Lárusson v. Iceland (application no. 23077/19) and Taner Kılıç v. Turkey (no. 2) (no. 208/18);   one Committee judgment, concerning issues which have already been examined by the Court, can   be consulted on Hudoc and does not appear in this press release.   The judgments below are available only in English.   X and Others v. Albania (applications no. 73548/17 and 45521/19)   The applicants are 18 Albanian nationals of Roma and Egyptian ethnicity who together make up six   households. They live in Korça (Albania).   The applicants allege that Roma or Egyptian ethnic pupils account for 89-100% of pupils in Naim   Frashëri primary school – which their children attend – in an average year, despite being a minority   of the town’s population. The case concerns the applicants’ complaints to the authorities concerning   that situation, and the Commissioner for the Protection from Discrimination’s subsequent order that   the Ministry of Education and Sport take “immediate measures to improve the situation and change   the ratio” between Roma/Egyptian and other pupils attending the school”. They allege that the   situation has not been resolved.   Relying on Article 1 of Protocol No. 12 (general prohibition of discrimination) to the European   Convention on Human Rights the applicants complain of discrimination and segregation in their   children’s education owing to the over-representation of Egyptian and Roma pupils in Naim Frashëri   school.   Violation of Article 1 of Protocol No. 12   Just satisfaction:   non-pecuniary damage: 4,500 euros (EUR) to five of the households (each)   The applicants did not submit any claim for costs and expenses.   Galeano Peñas v. Spain (no. 48784/20)   The applicant, Ruben Galeano Peñas, is a Spanish national who was born in 1987 and lives in Griñón   (Spain).   In 2011 Mr Galeano Peñas, who was a Guardia Civil officer, had a traffic dispute while off duty.   Following a criminal complaint, he was subsequently convicted in 2013 of forgery of facts in a public   record committed by a civil servant, receiving a three-year prison sentence, a fine and   Under Articles 43 and 44 of the Convention, Chamber judgments are not final. During the three-month period following a Chamber   judgment’s delivery, any party may request that the case be referred to the Grand Chamber of the Court. If such a request is made, a   panel of five judges considers whether the case deserves further examination. In that event, the Grand Chamber will hear the case and   deliver a final judgment. If the referral request is refused, the Chamber judgment will become final on that day. Under Article 28 of the   Convention, judgments delivered by a Committee are final.   Once a judgment becomes final, it is transmitted to the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe for supervision of its execution.   Further information about the execution process can be found here: www.coe.int/t/dghl/monitoring/execution   disqualification from public posts for two years. The penalty in his case was suspended while he was   awaiting the resolution of a pardon request. The sentence was executed only over five years after it   had become final. The case concerns the application of modified provisions of the Criminal Code   (which only came into force after his conviction and after his sentence had already been suspended)   concerning the statutory period applicable in his case, and whether that was in fact a retroactive   application of a prejudicial criminal law.   Relying on Article 7 (no punishment without law) and Article 5 § 1 (right to liberty and security) of   the European Convention, the applicant complains that he was imprisoned after the statutory period   had expired, and that he was punished by virtue of retroactive application of the law.   No violation of Article 5 § 1   This press release is a document produced by the Registry.
