    EU != USA.
    Do they even have something akin to Miranda rights?

    I got curious and found Article 10 of the ECHR which refers to their version of freedom of speech and it does have restrictions based on the following:

    • interests of national security
    • territorial integrity or public safety
    • prevention of disorder or crime
    • protection of health or morals
    • protection of the reputation or the rights of others
    • preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence
    • maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary

    I could see how that could be misused by any politicians to do as they please. But we have the same problems in the USA so no suprise there.
