Greek HIV Carrier Vindicated in Strasburg
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
A Greek woman infected with the HIV virus and fired by her employer was vindicated by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
The woman had lost the court battle in Greece when the Areios Pagos, the country's supreme court, ruled in favor of her employer.
The employer had maintained in court that fired the HIV carrier after pressure from her colleagues who believed their health was at risk.
The court in Strasbourg opined that Greek courts made a wrong judgment based on false assumptions about the communicability of the disease.
The Court of Human Rights noted that the dismissal contravened The Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and condemned Greece for these violations and awarded the plaintiff 14,340 euros in damages.
