Another free speech trial in the Netherlands: Joke Kaviaar
(from blog.yellow-stars.com)
Free Speech for Geert Wilders but not Joke. We now see the start of a “criminal trial” in the Netherlands against Joke Kaviaar – an anarchist and activist against the nature and manner of Dutch immigration policy. This young lady is an activist for refugees and for open boarders. She is on trial for what she said on her blog and has been told that so as long as certain posts remain up – she is “inciting” and “violating the law!”
Keep in mind that the Netherlands claims to be an advocate for free speech on the Internet. And – as I have argued in the past this is a double standard, as the Netherlands is all in favor of “free speech” for Iranians, Chinese and the extreme and radical right – the Netherlands is working to criminalize speech from the far-left, the vast majority are non-violent speakers like Joke. We have also seen people punished for speech that is taken as “threatening Wilders.”

My opinion is incitement! Resist and defy the terrorist state!
On september 13th police came at my door. I opened, expecting the mailman to bring yet another summons. “Nationale Recherche,” they said “Are you ms. K.?”. “Yes..” I answered a little hesitant. “You are under arrest for incitement!” and that was it.

Press release support group 26/12/12 – 8th of January 2013: Political trial against migration activist Joke Kaviaar for “incitement” – attempt to silence radical standpoints.
Utrecht: December 26, 2012: On Tuesday, January 8 at 13:45 the bench chamber of the court in Haarlem (Simon Vrieshof 1) will initiate the trial against Joke Kaviaar for “Incitement to criminal acts or violent misconduct against the state” (Article 131 paragraph 1 of the Dutch Criminal Code).

Strikingly, the earlier indictment of “terrorist intent” (Article 131 pagragraph 2) is not included in the summons. The Support Group 13 September calls to take a stand against this prosecution and considers that any person has both the right and every reason to criticize the migration policies.
