This decision is in harmony with a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights in June 1993 in a similar case in which the Court determined that Austria had discriminated against Ingrid Hoffmann, one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, on the basis of her religion.
See otsus on kooskõlas Euroopa Inimõiguste Kohtu 1993. aasta juunikuu kohtuotsusega, mis ütles, et Austria on diskrimineerinud Jehoova tunnistaja Ingrid Hoffmanni tema usu tõttu.
