The numerous criminal prosecutions against the applicant, the cumulative effects of the criminal convictions which resulted from them and the constant alternation between prosecutions and terms of imprisonment, together with the possibility that he would be liable to prosecution for the rest of his life, had been disproportionate to the aim of ensuring that he did his military service.
Les multiples poursuites pénales dirigées contre le requérant, les effets cumulatifs des condamnations pénales qui en résultaient, l'alternance continue des poursuites et des peines d'emprisonnement, combinés avec la possibilité d'être poursuivi tout au long de sa vie, s'avéraient disproportionnés au but d'assurer le service militaire.
