GÜLEÇ JUDGMENT 40 JOINT PARTLY DISSENTING OPINION OF JUDGES GÖLCÜKLÜ AND MATSCHER (Translation) We voted against the award of 50,000 French francs for non-pecuniary damage, in particular because the applicant’s son had been killed while deliberately taking part in an illegal and violent demonstration. Moreover, for reasons of principle, we disapprove of the award of compensation for non-pecuniary damage – irrespective of the amount – to the relatives of a victim, finding it rather unseemly to derive financial gain from the death of a relative, and we are not at all impressed by the astronomical sums claimed by the applicant.
