Ministry of justice and prison service under fire for arbitrary refusal (link).

On 16 March 2010, the Brussels Conseil d'Etat issued an urgent injunction stopping the Ministry of Justice and the Prison Service from giving effect to their decision of 24 February 2010 denying prison teacher Luk Vervaet access to Belgian prisons for 'reasons of national security'. The injunction was the latest move in Vervaet's battle for fair treatment from the Belgian authorities, which has so far resulted in two court rulings in his favour.
