Facts

Several Greek military airmen and their families complained that higher-ranking officers were unlawfully proselytizing lower-ranked airmen. Proselytism was illegal under the Greek Constitution. The lower-ranked airmen complained that the higher-ranking officers engaged in theological discussions, promoted the Pentecostal Church, and often invited the lower-ranking airmen to Pentecostal Church meetings. When the higher-ranking officers were told to stop, Larissis (plaintiff) sued Greece (defendant). Larissis argued that the prohibition on proselytism violated the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
