Wilders on trial 5 February 2010

Wednesday February 3rd 2010 Dutch politician Geert Wilders launches two websites on the political trial against him and the freedom:

In January 2009 the Court of Appeal in Amsterdam ruled that the Public Prosecutor had to prosecute Geert Wilders on the basis of his political beliefs. This trial is in fact a political trial. What has already happened in non-democratic countries is now also taking place in the Netherlands, in the heart of Europe. Yet this is not merely a lawsuit against Geert Wilders, it is also a lawsuit against freedom of speech, democracy and the truth.

Read Geert Wilders' speech from 20 January 2010 at the Court of Amsterdam in which he elaborates on his vision on the trial, islam and freedom of speech.

• Do we stand for the freedom of speech in the Netherlands? Or do we abolish our most important fundamental right?
• Is the Netherlands really a democracy? Or do we by now only allow politically correct views?
• Can the truth be told in the Netherlands? Or do we proclaim the multicultural utopia?
• Will the lights go out? Or will freedom triumph? That is what it is all about.
• This trial is a trial against all freedom-loving people. A trial against millions. This is a trial against freedom.

The 20th of January 2010 will be a crucial day for defending our freedom. This is the day when the political trial against Geert Wilders will start. Yesterday, Geert Wilders was summoned by the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) on behalf of the Court of Justice of Amsterdam.

The indictment reads: group insult of Muslims, incitement to hatred and discrimination against Muslims due to their religion and incitement to hatred and discrimination against non-western immigrants and / or Moroccans due to their race.

Geert Wilders: "On the 20th of January 2010, a political trial will start. I am being prosecuted for my political convictions. The freedom of speech is on the verge of collapsing. If a politician is not allowed to criticise an ideology anymore, this means that we are lost, and it will lead to the end of our freedom. However I remain combative: I am convinced that I will be acquitted.”

In earlier stages, the PPS did not see any reason to prosecute Mr. Wilders.

Bram Moszkowicz, the lawyer on the case at hand, will submit a notice of objection to the summons on the point of group insult on behalf of Geert Wilders. Earlier this year, the Supreme Court of the Netherlands ruled that even though it is indeed punishable to insult a group of people, it is not punishable to insult a religion as such. Due to this the order of the Court of Amsterdam on this point is deemed incorrect.
