Belgium: policemen sentenced for attack
artdoc May=1993

Anti-racists are critical of a court decision to sentence 3
plainclothes police officers to just 6 months imprisonment for
a violent assault on a Pakistani man. In February 1992, in
Schaerbeek, a suburb of Brussels, the plainclothes officers,
members of the anti-drug squads, had approached Mohammed J, a
petrol-station attendant, and asked to see his identity papers.
When Mr. J could not produce them immediately they assaulted him
(Solidaire 16.12.92).
