📅 26 Oktober 2000 📍 Bulgarije

The European Court of Human Rights ruled that government intervention in the leadership of Bulgaria’s Muslim community violated religious freedom and the right to an effective remedy. Fikri Sali Hasan and Ismail Ahmed Chaush challenged the authorities’ displacement of the community’s elected leadership. The case shows believers defending institutional autonomy against state control. Its relevance to this series lies in that struggle; the judgment did not use Islamophobia as its legal test.
