'Threats to daily Metro were ignored'

According to editor Jan Dijkgraaf, radical Islamists made threats to his (free) daily newspaper long before the Van Gogh murder. However, police in Amsterdam dismissed the threats, several of which call for either the killing of Metro staff or the torching of the Metro building.

A free copy of today's Metro, which contains several of the threatening emails, can be downloaded here. Boris Dittrich, leader of the centrist D66 party, has called for a new investigation. It seems that Mr. Donner, the responsible secretary for the Justice department, is more concerned with curbing our freedom of speech these days.

I'm flying out to Ireland tonight, but if any foreign media want to help get this story out, please contact me directly through email.

Remember me?


Epibratie
"I believe in life. I believe in treasuring it as a mystery that will never be fully understood, as a sanctity that should never be destroyed, as an invitation to experience now what can only be remembered tomorrow. (...)
I believe in liberty. I believe that within every soul lies the capacity to reach for its own good, that within every physical body there endures an unalienable right to be free from coercion. (...)
I believe in the pursuit of happiness. Not its attainment, nor its final definition, but its pursuit. I believe in the journey, not the arrival; in conversation, not monologues; in multiple questions rather than any single answer."
Andrew Sullivan
