The ECHR will be delivering an advisory opinion in reply to a request submitted by the Belgian Conseil d’État at a public hearing on 14 December 2023 at 3 p.m.

The request was submitted in the context of an application lodged by a security guard before the administrative judicial division of the Belgian Conseil d’État, seeking the annulment of a decision by the Ministry of the Interior to withdraw an identity card entitling him to work as a security or surveillance guard, on the grounds that he was in contact with individuals associated with the “scientific” strand of Salafism.
