A professor from the University of Aveiro was convicted for hate incitement after making homophobic comments. The professor was sentenced by a first-instance court, which decided on the conviction.
The defense lawyer points out that the professor did not show "the slightest sign of remorse" during the process. This position from the defense comes in the context of the sentence applied to the professor.
The case involves homophobic comments made by the professor within the scope of his academic duties. The conviction comes after a legal process that examined the professor's statements. The University of Aveiro, where the professor taught, was not mentioned as a party in the process, which took place through the competent judicial authorities.
