Re BYANSI (FOND)
Articles 156, 157, 194, and 251 of Law No. 68/2018 do not contravene Articles 15 or 38 of the Constitution, as their restrictions on journalistic activity are justified, proportionate, and consistent with the protection of privacy, dignity, public order, and justice. Article 218, which criminalizes defamation or insult against foreign dignitaries, creates unjustified privilege and is inconsistent with equality before the law and freedom of expression, and is therefore unconstitutional and void.
