four months in prison for writing articles.,
Dutch no border activist Joke Kaviaar sentenced to four months in prison
for incitement
- Migration activist does not let herself be silenced
Today the bench chamber of the court in Haarlem ruled in the case of
incitement by speech and word against Joke Kaviaar. The court rejected
all of the defense pleas of her lawyer and sentenced Joke to four months
in prison. This is less than the six months imprisonment the Public
Prosecutor had asked for. Joke Kaviaar will appeal the conviction and
announces that she will not let herself be silenced. She will continue
to speak out against the Dutch migration policy.
The Support Group 13 September, founded after the arrest of Joke
Kaviaar, feels that the ruling was to be expected, as seen in the light
of the current political climate in the Netherlands and in the standing
jurisprudence around the Supreme Court regarding incitement (Article 131
of the Criminal Code).
The current verdict restricts the freedom of expression: from now on
Joke Kaviaar and other publicists offering sharp criticism against
government policy will get into danger to be restricted as well. This
verdict creates dangerous jurisprudence for further restriction of
criticism against the government.
Joke Kaviaar will appeal to a higher court, because she will keep
defending her right to express herself by her texts, both as part of the
struggle for free speech against state repression and as part of the
refugee struggle. The sentence is a scandal, but will not break the
ongoing struggle against borders and for freedom of movement.
Joke Kaviaar was arrested at home on September 13, 2011 and detained for
three days under full restrictions. Meanwhile a house search took place.
She was charged with “incitement and spreading incitement with a
terrorist intent”. This charge involved a number of texts in which Joke
fiercely speaks out against the Dutch migration policy. A few months
later, in December, the Public Prosecutor’s National Office had her
website taken offline. It was a day later put back online by unknowns
and is still accessible.
After a long-term investigation two weeks ago, on January 8, a hearing
before the bench chamber place finally took place. Four of her texts
were submitted by the Public Prosecution to the court as being
'inciting'. The previous accusation that Joke Kaviaar had a “terrorist
intent” with the alleged incitement was dropped. This raises the
suspicion that the aggravated charge at the time of arrest, permitting
the house search, and used throughout the entire investigation has only
been added as intimidation, and to make use of the extensive
investigative powers of the terrorism legislation.

Ju öppnare nånting är desto
öppnare måste det vara*
Dock gälle det motsatta vid representation av av öppenhet
- alltså skenbar öppenhet; t.ex. vår parlamentariska demokrati.
* e inte helt klar över vad jag menat här, men tänker att det kan haft att göra med att om en e ärlig personligen så finns det lix ingen återvändo från utfläkandet. ,men då att när det hävdas att nått e öppet, som inte riktit kan va d, för att finns så mycket skit, hittas det en massa mekanismer som gör det stängt.
...Jag snackar total anarki
och om inte det skulle va möjligt
bör vi avskaffa oss själva
