Quoting tabloids is not going to win you any arguments

The publication doesn't matter because you're directly contradicting yourself. You just wrote in another comment:

> Having a corrupt public servant (if this is the case here) does not make a country a "repressive state".

And now you seem to argue that other countries look repressive as well by quoting a single conviction that was invalidated by the ECJ.

The EHCR, not the ECJ (the latter of which is related to trade agreements). The EHCR did the opposite of invalidate her conviction -- they upheld the decision of the Austrian court[1]. In other words, they rejected the claim that Austria's anti-blasphemy laws are a violation of human rights (which I disagree with -- though I'm definitely not anti-EU like others in this chain).

That's the opposite of what happened.
