Wilders: prosecution based on misquotations

Geert Wilders' lawyer, Abraham Moszkowicz, has found that the Amsterdam Court of Appeals made a number of grave errors in the legal justification of their decisions to have Geert Wilders prosecuted for his criticism of Islam. The judges based their decision on remarks that were falsely attributed to Wilders or were misquoted in a way that twisted the meaning of his words.

Erroneously attributing a statement by Italian journalist and author Oriana Fallaci to him is only one of the blunders committed by the court, says Wilders In an interview with Dutch daily newspaper De Telegraaf.

"They also twisted one of my statements in such a way as to crucially change the meaning. 'No more Muslims in the Netherlands', is something completely different than what I actually said, which was 'No more Muslim immigration into the Netherlands'. There are more examples like that. The public prosecutor has been ordered by this court to prosecute me, based in part on statements I never made."

Wilders has filed an appeal with the Dutch High Court of Justice against the Amsterdam court's decision to prosecute him.
