On June 19, 2014, a Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (Third Section) (the Court) declared inadmissible [3] 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 [4], 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.”
