At
the
time
of
the
events
which
gave
rise
to
the
applicant
’s
conviction
,
the
Greek
armed
forces
were
apparently
in
a
state
of
mobilisation
as
a
consequence
of
circumstances
existing
in
the
area
.
The
applicant
was
a
reserve
officer
on
probation
holding
the
rank
of
second
lieutenant
.
He
had
performed
two
years
of
military
service
,
in
the
course
of
which
he
would
undoubtedly
have
been
trained
in
the
requirements
of
military
discipline
.
He
claimed
to
have
discovered
abuse
against
conscripts
in
the
course
of
his
service
,
as
a
result
of
which
he
came
into
conflict
with
his
superiors
and
,
after
disciplinary
proceedings
against
him
,
was
required
to
serve
additional
time
in
the
army
.
On
10
May
1989
,
after
having
overstayed
a
period
of
leave
and
having
been
declared
a
deserter
he
sent
to
his
commanding
officer
,
not
through
the
post
but
by
the
hand
of
a
taxi
driver
,
a
letter
in
the
terms
set
out
in
paragraph
14
of
the
judgment
.
On
the
same
day
he
gave
a
copy
of
the
letter
to
a
fellow
reserve
officer
.
