Serbia to compensate COVID protester: Strasbourg court

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has ordered Serbia to provide financial compensation to an individual who protested during the COVID-19 pandemic. The court found that the protester did not receive a fair trial. Serbia is required to pay 3,600 euros as a result of this ruling. The judgment was delivered on Tuesday. This decision highlights the importance of due process even in times of public health crisis. The ECHR's ruling underscores international human rights standards.

This ruling reinforces the principle that individuals are entitled to fair legal proceedings, regardless of the circumstances or the nature of their protest.
