In regards to the article "Europe in Wonderland: Belgium Criminalizes Truth," from June 14, Gatestone is aware of Dries Van Langenhove's background and does not in any way endorse many of his views. However, his conviction marks a new and dramatic low in the ongoing destruction of free speech in Europe. Langenhove was sentenced for simply stating facts, a shocking development even for Europe. The verdict was too important a development for Gatestone to ignore, as when courts criminalize facts, everyone suffers.
