SPD Posters Case Heads to Supreme Court

The case of the SPD movement's pre-election posters will continue before the Supreme Court. Supreme Public Prosecutor Lenka Bradáčová filed an appeal against the decision of the appellate court, which overturned the earlier conviction in September. ct24.ceskatelevize.cz ↗

The case concerns SPD posters depicting a dark-skinned man and a child, along with a slogan about "imported surgeons." The first-instance court found the movement guilty of incitement to hatred in June of this year. However, the appellate court overturned the verdict and decided the case the opposite way, leading to its continuation before higher judicial instances. teraz.sk ↗

Through her appeal, Bradáčová seeks to have the Supreme Court address the differing legal opinions in this matter. The court should assess what the limits of political expression are and whether the form of the election campaign used met the criteria for a criminal offense. lidovky.cz ↗

The Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office stated that the case will now head to the Supreme Court. It will decide on the legal questions arising from the previous rulings. Further developments will depend on whether the appeal is accepted and how the court assesses the boundary between a political campaign and incitement to hatred. denikn.cz ↗
