(National-UAE) The presiding judge of the Brussels bombing trial on Thursday intervened to call for improved relations between the parties involved after one of the defendants accused a policeman of strangling him.
The incident was said to have been in retaliation for him publicly complaining about security measures, which led to a walkout by the already convicted prisoners.
Judge Laurence Massart read out a letter that she had written to the Belgian Justice Ministry bringing attention to complaints made by defendants in the hope that “dialogue returns between the police, concerned ministries, and the prosecution so that this trial can be held in the best conditions possible.”
