Summary/Abstract: Through the decision of Sanchez v. France, the European Court of Human Rights considered that the sentencing of a politician to a criminal fine for the publication by third parties on his Facebook page of insulting statements against the Muslim community, are not likely to lead to the violation of art. 10 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
