The applicant, a lawyer and human rights activist, was sentenced to five months’ imprisonment, later converted to a fine of 3,000 Turkish liras (approximately 693 euros at the time of the judgment). The conviction was based on her article, in which she stated: “Let’s not forget this! In the current operations in Kurdistan, soldiers are making announcements to the public from panzers through megaphones, ‘You are all Armenians, you are all bastards’. These announcements clearly reveal the connection between the denial of the Armenian genocide and the unsafe existence of the Armenian people living in Türkiye.” The applicant complains that her conviction leads to self-censorship and violates her freedom of expression under Article 10 of the Convention.       QUESTION TO THE PARTIES Has there been an interference with the applicant’s freedom of expression within the meaning of Article 10 § 1 of the Convention? If so, was that interference prescribed by law and necessary in terms of Article 10 § 2 (see   Altuğ Taner Akçam v. Turkey , no. 27520/07, §§ 69-96, 25 October 2011, and Fatih Taş v. Turkey (no. 5) , no. 6810/09, §§ 28-40, 4 September 2018)?
