Hungarian government guilty of snooping on its citizens

Posted on January 22, 2016 by pogowasright.org

Roi Perez reports:

The European Court of Human Rights has found the Hungarian Government guilty of violating article eight of the European Convention of Human rights – ‘the right to privacy’.

The judgement was passed because of Hungary’s failure to provide “sufficient precise, effective and comprehensive” measures that would limit surveillance to only people it suspected of crimes.
