The Court was concerned with the presumption of guilt inherent in the law, and its denial of free communication to citizens. The court also made the following statement about freedom of speech:
"Freedom of expression and communication is so valuable that its exercise is a prerequisite for democracy and one of the guarantees of respect for other rights and freedoms and attacks on the exercise of this freedom must be necessary, appropriate and proportionate to the aim pursued."
