According to The Local:
The Spanish government was dealt a legal blow on Tuesday after the European Court of Human Rights ruled against the prosecution of people caught burning photos of Spain’s monarchy.
The case in question stems from the 2008 sentencing of Enric Stern and Jaume Roura who burned images of the Spanish king and queen at the time, Juan Carlos and Sofía, during the monarchs’ visit to the Catalan city of Girona in 2007.
Both men were handed out €2700 fines to avoid prison and a warning that they’d have to serve 15 months behind bars if the sum wasn’t paid.
