In the case of Dede v. Türkiye the Court held that there had been a violation of the right to freedom of expression.

The case concerned the dismissal of a bank employee for having sent an email to the staff of his company’s human resources department criticising a senior executive’s management methods. 

The Court found that the national courts had not conducted a sufficiently detailed examination of the content of the email in question, in which the applicant had criticised alleged shortcomings in the company’s management.
