In 2020 the European Court of Human Rights has issued three decisions on hate crimes. An unusual fact, with three common characteristics: the three cases were related to incidents of religious hatred; in all of them, the victims were members of Jehovah’s Witnesses; in all three cases, the respondent country was Ukraine. This paper aims to analyze these judgments in the broader context of the Strasbourg Court jurisprudence on hate crimes
