The Eweida Case ( EHCR) First of all I will explain the facts of this case, secondly the legal issue and finally the impact. Mrs Eweida is a practising Coptic Christian who works for British Airways PLC. . British Airways required its entire staff in contact with the public to wear uniform and religious symbols had to be covered at all-time but the applicant in this case decided to start wearing the cross openly as a sign of her faith. In 2006, she refused to remove the cross and was sent home. In 2007, she returned to work but British Airways refused to pay her for the earnings lost during the period she had not come to work. She lodged several appeals in internal law without success. Finally, she lodged with the European Court of Human Rights an appeal against the United Kingdom of Great Britain. The case relates to the right to manifest one’s religion, established by article 9 of the convention and its restrictions, especially with regard to the wearing of religous symbols at work. So the present case broaches the important question of the coexistence of many religious in a democratic society. The court considered that refusing to allow the applicant to remain in her post while visibling a cross was an interference with the right to manifest her religious belief. It concluded that the british authorities failed to protect the first applicant’s right to manifest her religion in breach of Article 9. This case had an important impact on the European court of Human Rights : it has strongly changed its jurisprudence about the guarantee of freedom of religion at work.
