• This means, among other things, that he cannot receive or give money to others - with corresponding restrictions on his ability to, for example, hire a lawyers to defend himself legaly. Even buying food and medicine is not straightforward for him, but requires authorization from state authorities each time. He is also probhited from leaving Germany, as the sanctions prohibit both entry into and exit from the EU. It should be noted that all these massive infringements of fundamental rights occur without any judge having issued a ruling or any other form of legal legitimacy.
• For in Doğru’s case, the sanctions are justified in a manner that undoubtedly has a totalitarian character and bodes ill the future if press freedom in the EU.
