Today I will go to the maximum-security court at Schiphol again.

I will also send a letter and a book with Muhammadcartoons to all fellow Members of Parliament to remind them of the utmost importance of Freedom of Speech and Expression.#FreedomOfSpeech #Wilderstrial #Wilders pic.twitter.com/ERc8f3Rd9p

Politicaltrial

Tomorrowmorning in the extra-secured court at Schiphol airport the trial against Geert Wilders resumes.

It is a politicial trial not only because Geert Wilders is being prosecuted for expressing his opinion – not favoured by the political elite. It is a political trial as well because of the political interferance in the process.

Earlier this month Geert Wilders called for a parliamentary inquiry into the political interference in his trial.

Wilders’ defense team obtained a notary statement from a former official of the Department of Justice in which the official declares overhearing a conversation between the then Secretary-General and then Minister of Justice Opstelten.

According to this remarkable statement Opstelten explicitly said that the public prosecutor should proceed to prosecute Wilders because ‘he is getting in our way’.

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch far-right politician and anti-Islam campaigner Geert Wilders said on Friday that Twitter had temporarily blocked his account following remarks he made about a political rival.

Wilders, who cannot easily appear in public due to threats against him by Islamists, relies heavily on Twitter to communicate with his supporters. He has 811,000 followers, second only to Prime Minister Mark Rutte among Dutch politicians.

“Twitter often tolerates death threats against me, but not a factual tweet by me about a colleague. Madness!,” he said in a statement.
