On June 19, 2014, a Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (Third Section) (the Court) declared inadmissible the application in Stichting Ostade Blade v. the Netherlands, holding that the perpetrator of a series of bomb attacks in Arnhem, who wrote to a magazine claiming responsibility for the attacks (the Letter), was not a journalistic source attracting protection under Article 10 (freedom of expression) of the European Convention on Human Rights. The magazine claimed a violation of its rights to protect its journalistic sources when, after the magazine announced that it had received the Letter, police searched its premises. According to the press release, the Court found that “source protection” was not in issue because the informant was not a journalistic source and that the search, which constituted an interference with the magazine’s Article 10 rights, was “justified as ‘necessary in a democratic society’ for the prevention of crime.”
