Letter from Head of School of Law at University of Leicester to UK Belgian Ambassador

Professor Minkkinen informs us that he has not to date received a reply from the embassy.

 H.E. Ambassador Johan Verbeke
 Belgian Ambassador to London,
Grosvenor Crescent, 17
SW1X 7EE London
United Kingdom

Sir,

 I am shocked about news concerning the treatment of fellow academic Prof  Marianne Maeckelbergh at the No Border Camp in Brussels on 1st October and  about the police brutality that she has witnessed. I would expect no less of the government of Belgium than to release immediately all those who  remain in custody and to conduct an immediate and thorough investigation  of what has happened to see to it that those responsible will be brought to justice.


 I would appreciate if you could keep me informed of the developments.

 Yours sincerely,

Panu Minkkinen
