19 kwietnia Trybunał Praw Człowieka w Strasburgu orzekł, że proces lustracyjny Leszka Moczulskiego nie był rzetelny i naruszył Europejską Konwencję Praw Człowieka
Sędziowie Trybunału uznali, że pozbawienie Leszka Moczulskiego możliwości skutecznej obrony poprzez utrudnienie korzystania z akt opatrzonych klauzulą tajności, zakazu robienia notatek, było naruszeniem podstawowej zasady równości stron procesu.
Rzecznik Interesu Publicznego nieograniczony dostęp do dokumentów, które stanowiły podstawę oskarżenia.

Moczulski v. Poland (no. 49974/08)
Tomasz Kwiatkowski v. Poland (no. 24254/05)
The applicants are two Polish nationals, Robert Leszek Moczulski, who was born in 1930 and lives in Warsaw, and Tomasz Kwiatkowski, who was born in 1948 and lives in Konstancin-Jeziorna (Poland). Both cases concerned so-called “lustration proceedings” brought against the applicants which, introduced in Poland in April 1997, aimed at exposing those who had worked for or collaborated with the State’s security services during the communist period. As a result, Mr Moczulski was barred from being a Member of Parliament and Mr Kwiatkowski, an advocate, was removed from the Bar Association. Relying on Article 6 §§ 1 and 3 (right to a fair trial), they alleged that the lustration proceedings against them had been unfair due to document confidentiality and limitations on access to their case files.
(Both cases) Violation of Article 6 § 1 in conjunction with Article 6 § 3 (fairness)
Just satisfaction:
- costs and expenses:
Mr Moczulski, EUR 1,500;
no claim made by Mr Kwiatkowski
