Lendvai v. Hungary (European Court of Human Rights case)

Lendvai v. Hungary is a case before the European Court of Human Rights where the applicant, Lendvai, argued that his right to free expression was violated. He claimed that Hungary’s law restricting public demonstrations, especially those related to national symbols, limited his ability to express his views. The Court examined whether Hungary's restrictions were necessary and proportionate in a democratic society. Ultimately, the Court found that the restrictions did not breach Lendvai’s rights, ruling that the state’s measures aimed to protect public order and the rights of others, balancing freedom of expression with societal interests.
