(Dutch News) Dutch lawyer Serge Weening has been banned from entering the US, possibly because he has defended several terrorism suspects, law journal Advocatenblad said this week.
Weening is one of the lawyers involved in the defence of an alleged terrorist cell rolled up last September. The public prosecution department says the group were planning an attack at a major event in the Netherlands.
Weening and his girlfriend were planning a holiday in Miami but his application for an ESTA permit was rejected three days after it was made, Weening told the journal. Attempts to apply for a formal visa at the US embassy in Wassenaar also failed.
