Prosecutors ask for Wilders acquittal on all charges
AMSTERDAM Oct 15 (Reuters) - Prosecutors asked a Dutch
court on Friday to acquit anti-immigration lawmaker Geert
Wilders on charges of inciting hatred and discrimination against
Muslims.
Prosecutors, who had already called on the court to drop a
charge that Wilders insulted Muslims by comparing Islam to
Nazism, said his comments targeted Islam and not Muslims as a
group. They said he also had the right as a politician to make
statements about perceived problems in society.
