📅 14 December 1999 📍 Griekenland

The European Court of Human Rights found that Greece had violated Ibraim Serif’s religious freedom by convicting him for acting as a mufti supported by part of the Muslim community. The judgment rejected the assumption that authorities could resolve religious divisions simply by suppressing a rival religious leader. It is included as a struggle over Muslim collective autonomy and state recognition. The Court’s legal finding concerned Article 9, not a general declaration that Greece was Islamophobic.
