Re INGABIRE
The Supreme Court held that the action to repeal article 4 of law nº 33 bis/2003 was inadmissible as the provision had already been abrogated. The action to repeal articles 4-9 of law n°18/2008 was also inadmissible as those articles had been repealed by new penal provisions. The claim regarding articles 2 and 3 of law n°18/2008 was admitted but found to lack merit, as these articles are not contrary to the Constitution; they provide sufficient clarity and permissible limitations on freedom of expression to prevent incitement to genocide.
