A day at a show-trial. Geert Wilders being hung out to dry

Please read this play-by-play over at Klein Verzet:

Today, it was the 1st real trial day in the prosecution against Geert Wilders and his opinions. The event is broadcasted live on Dutch state television and it’s quite a story:

The first amazing thing was that the court wanted to show Fitna in court. That means that for the first time, Fitna will be broadcasted on Dutch national television.

Second surprise was that at the start of the trial, Wilders his lawyer, unexpectedly stated that Wilders would use his right not to answer any questions during his trial, as he as his lawyer had advised him to do so.

His lawyer also asked the court to allow mister Wilders to make a small 2 minute statement in order for him to explain this decision. During the short statement Wilders defended free speech and declared that he has said what he has said and does not take anything back from it. Also he added that he can’t guarantee that anything that is attributed to him is also actually said by him.

The president of the court Jan Moorse then wanted to debate Wilders his decision, but again Wilders repeated that he wouldn’t not answer any questions in court. Then judge Jan Moorse amazingly did not accept his statement in which he took his right not to answer the court and even allowed him selves to make a value judgment about it. Judge Moorse said: that in the press Wilders has been criticized to make statements he is not willing to defend during debates and that he now seems to be doing the same thing here in court.

Jan Moors repeats political smear against Geert Wilders as if they are facts.

The rest is at the link at the top. Please read to see how democracy and due process of law becomes tyranny and Torquemada show trials.

  1. This court is probably going to prove that the verdict was agreed upon before the trial started. This will serve notice to others in Europe just how low things have sunk.

  2. To take a line from a popular western movie”first we’ll give him a fair trial and then we’ll hang him”.

  3. At least they are holding the trial first, the way things are going they will hang first and then hold the trial, that way there will be no bothersome defense.
