A French law criminalising clients of sex workers does not infringe on the European Convention on Human Rights, the continent's top rights court ruled Thursday.
A group of 261 men and women sex workers had turned to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) over the 2016 law, which threatens buyers of sex with fines of up to 1,500 euros ($1,630), which can more than double for repeat offenders.
