issued by the Registrar of the Court ECHR 078 (2025) 27.03.2025 Forthcoming judgments and decisions The European Court of Human Rights will be notifying in writing one judgment on Tuesday 1 April 2025 and 71 judgments and / or decisions on Thursday 3 April 2025. Press releases and texts of the judgments and decisions will be available at 10 a.m. (local time) on the Court's Internet site (www.echr.coe.int). Tuesday 1 April 2025 Doynov v. Bulgaria (application no. 27455/22) The applicant, Mihail Ivanov Doynov, is a Bulgarian national who was born in 1973 and lives in Burgas (Bulgaria). On 25 November 2015 he was arrested on suspicion of making a hoax bomb threat in a cultural centre and taken into police custody. His subsequent appeals in that respect were all rejected. The case concerns an allegation that the Supreme Administrative Court lacked independence and impartiality when ruling on an action for damages brought against it for a serious breach of European Union law. Relying on Articles 6 (right to a fair hearing) and 13 (right to an effective remedy) of the European Convention on Human Rights, the applicant complains that the Supreme Administrative Court lacked independence and impartiality and, in consequence, that the proceedings concerning the action for damages for an alleged breach of EU law were ineffective. Thursday 3 April 2025 Hayk Grigoryan v. Armenia (no. 9796/17) The applicant, Hayk Grigoryan, is an Armenian national who was born in 1982 and lives in Yerevan. On 17 July 2016 a group of armed men stormed the premises of the Patrol Service Regiment of the Armenian Police. In the protests and events that followed, Mr Grigoryan, at that time a freelance journalist, was in the vicinity covering a demonstration in the Sari Tagh neighbourhood of Yerevan in the evening of 19 July 2016. The case concerns an incident in which Mr Grigoryan was filming police officers allegedly assaulting a demonstrator, when they allegedly grabbed him, hit him, seized his mobile telephone and camera, and returned the camera to him with the videos deleted. Relying on Article 10 (freedom of expression) of the European Convention, Mr Grigoryan complains that, while carrying out journalistic activities, police officers assaulted him, took away his equipment and, even though they returned his camera, deleted his footage. Federici v. France (no. 52302/19) The applicant, Jean-Fran�ois Federici, is a French national who was born in 1957. He is currently detained in Venzolasca Prison in Corsica. The case concerns the applicant's placement in a glass booth during proceedings before an assize court of appeal, and that court's refusal to grant the applicant's request to be questioned in the witness stand instead. Relying on Article 6 �� 1 and 3 (right to a fair trial/right to have adequate time and facilities for the preparation of one's defence) of the Convention, the applicant complains that he was subjected to an unnecessary and disproportionate restriction on his right to appear freely at trial and his right to participate effectively in the proceedings. He also complains that the fact of being questioned while in the glass booth infringed his right to be presumed innocent as guaranteed by Article 6 � 2 of the Convention. Kul�k v. Slovakia (no. 57748/21) The applicant, Tom�s Kul�k, is a Slovak national who was born in 1980 and lives in Bratislava. He is a lawyer. The case concerns the search of Mr Kul�k's law firm on 28 October 2020 by the authorities, during which computers and other items were seized. The action had been taken with a prosecutor's consent given over the telephone, rather than a warrant, as there was an alleged urgent need to act to prevent the deletion of files as Mr Kul�k had accidentally been made aware that the search was imminent. Relying on Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life), Mr Kul�k complains that the search of his law firm and the seizure of his work computer had violated his legal-professional privilege. N.D. v. Switzerland (no. 56114/18) N.D. is a Swiss national who was born in 1969. The case concerns her allegation that the Swiss authorities failed to protect her against the actions of her partner, namely kidnapping and, over an 11-hour period, false imprisonment, rape and ill-treatment. She relies on Article 2 (right to life) of the Convention. Bogay and Others v. Ukraine (no. 38283/18) The applicants are 12 Ukrainian nationals. They were born between 1989 and 2001 and live in Ukraine. The applicants were involved in January 2018 in a protest in Lviv against the use of animals in circus acts, which was opposed by people allegedly belonging to far-right groups at the site. The case concerns police actions at the protest, which allegedly disrupted the demonstration. Some of the applicants were searched and allegedly detained. The applicants rely, in particular, on Articles 5 (right to liberty and security), 10 (freedom of expression) and 11 (freedom of assembly and association). They also rely on Article 13 (right to an effective remedy). The Court will give its rulings in writing on the following cases, some of which concern issues which have already been submitted to the Court, including excessive length of proceedings. These rulings can be consulted from the day of their delivery on the Court's online database HUDOC. They will not appear in the press release issued on that day.
