Prosecutors ask for Wilders acquittal on all charges

AMSTERDAM Oct 15 (Reuters) - Prosecutors asked a Dutch court on Friday to acquit anti-immigration lawmaker Geert Wilders on charges of inciting hatred and discrimination against Muslims.


Prosecutors, who had already called on the court to drop a charge that Wilders insulted Muslims by comparing Islam to Nazism, said his comments targeted Islam and not Muslims as a group. They said he also had the right as a politician to make statements about perceived problems in society.

There is still the necessity for the judges to agree to drop the charges, but it’s hard to imagine them going against such a strong request from the prosecution.

When translations from the Dutch come in, I’ll post them.
