(Brussels Times) One of the terror suspects currently standing trial for the 2016 Brussels bombings, Salah Abdeslam stated on Wednesday that he was beaten by police officers during his transfer to the courtroom. His lawyer revealed that the inside of her client’s mouth had shown signs of injury.
The Brussels 2016 terror attacks trial has been the subject of much controversy since its beginning. The latest allegation by terror suspect Abdeslam follows complaints levied by other terror suspects that they had been mistreated during their transfer to the Justitia site. They subsequently sued the Belgian state over the conditions of their transfer, which led a Brussels judge to stop the practice of strip searches.
