Brussels attacks: Victims take Belgian state to court

(Brussels Times) Belgium is being taken to court by 19 victims of the terror attacks on Brussels Airport and Maelbeek metro station on 22 March 2016.

“We accuse the government of a lack of information, a lack of help and inadequate legislation,” said Nic Reynaert, the victims’ lawyer and a victim himself.

Reynaert’s own case is starting on Monday, five years to the day of the attacks, and will be followed on 19 April by the cases of ten victims before the Dutch-speaking Court of First Instance.

The other nine cases will begin at the French-speaking Court of First Instance on 11 May.
