HC statement regarding use of wiretapping in Poland in recent years 2008-02-20 In light of reports of unwarranted and illegal use between 2000 and 2007 of operating methods violating individual privacy, the Helsinki Committee reiterates that personal freedom from encroachment by the state is the superseding principle and limitations on freedom may occur solely in thoroughly-warranted cases. Operational activities which actual goal is political gain are unacceptable in a democratic state ruled by law. |
