Dutroux: questions about autopsy-report

Werkgroep Morkhoven | 04.05.2004 10:37 | Social Struggles | World

Any weeks ago 'The Sprout' published a photo of two children of the so named Dutroux-case (Belgium) that were murdered. The official version says that Julie and Melissa 'starved to death' but the photo proved that they were murdered on a horrible way. Are the belgian media free to write openly and what may be the reason that they are obliged to silence about some subjects? What is the situation in the other European countries ?

In a recent article, Kleintje Muurkrant referred to Marc van Impe, a journalist who works sometimes for the 'Financieel Economische Tijd', a newspaper that has a lot of influence in Belgium.
Marc van Impe is also an important member of the 'Belgian Association for Professional Journalists' and it is in this position that he will bring an action against The Sprout that published the photo of the children.

Marc van Impe said that The Sprout was giving 'false information to the Belgian public' and seems not interested in the identity of the criminals that raped and tortured the children before they died.

But Kleintje Muurkrant has some questions about the autopsy-report in this case...
