The Netherlands: Judges Removed In Wilders Show-Trial After Attempting To Influence Expert Witness

From Jihad Watch:

Judges removed in Wilders show trial after attempting to influence expert witness


Klein Verzet has the details here about how Judge Tom Schalken tried to strong-arm the great Islamic scholar Hans Jansen, an expert witness for Wilders.



"Judges told to step down in Wilders trial," from Al-BBC, October 22:



Judges in the hate speech trial of Dutch anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders have been ordered to step down by an independent appeals panel.

The move follows a request by Mr Wilders' lawyers who said they feared the judges were biased against him.



The legal process that began in January must now begin again with new judges. The trial itself started in October.



Mr Wilders faces five charges of inciting hatred and discrimination against Muslims.



If found guilty, he faces a maximum sentence of one year in jail....
