Increased Punishment for Activists who Threaten Others


Minister of Justice Ernst Hirsch Ballin (Christian Democrats) is investigating the possibility to increase the punishment for activists who threaten other people. At present the maximum punishment is nine months in jail. The minister promised Parliament this after the Science Link project in Venray was canceled as a result of threats of animal rights activists.
