Bankrupt man jailed for insulting queen Beatrix
Thursday 19 July 2012



A 47-year-old man has been given 80
hours community service and a 90 day jail term, 77 days suspended, for
insulting queen Beatrix and sending threatening letters to two mayors,
urging them to cancel Queen's Day celebrations.

The man, a bankrupt bargee, wrote to the queen in March and April,
accusing her of being a 'con woman' and a 'sinner' and calling for the
monarchy to be abolished, news agency ANP reported.

In court, the man said he regretted sending the letters. A
psychiatrist said the man, who has a mental handicap, was getting rid of
the frustrations surrounding the sale of his barge.

The man has already served the 13 days in jail in pre-trial custody.



Tofik Dibi, an MP for the green party GroenLinks, said in a reaction that the sentence is high for the crime.



'If this had been said to me or any other person, it would not have
been a problem,' Dibi is quoted as saying by ANP. 'That is freedom of
speech. It might be tasteless but you should be able to say it.'
