German Pharmacists Chamber appeals ruling that upholds freedom of conscience
In Berlin, the case of a pharmacist being prosecuted for acting in line with his conscience continues. After he would not sell the ‘morning-after-pill’ for conscience reasons he recently faced legal proceedings initiated by the Berlin Chamber of Pharmacists.
For the first time, a German court ruled on this matter and upheld his right to act in accordance with his conscience regarding the sale of certain products.
However, the Pharmacists’ Chamber has now appealed against the decision. ADF International is supporting the pharmacist in this case.
