Last Tuesday, helicopters streaked the city
skies. Police cars, sirens wailing, hailed the
passage of dozens of police vans. Some parked
in front of the courthouse, others in front
of parliament, so as to surround the Royal Palace
without disturbing the Royal luncheon.
The Chechen community gathered from all over
the country to deliver a letter to advise His
Majesty of the persecutions of one of their
heroes to the Royal post-box. They concluded
the note saying: We salute the His Majesty,
the King of the Belgians and will be infinitely
grateful to him, if He accepts us as servents,
as He does of the Belgian people. Moreover we
will leave Belgium if He asks us to, provided
He allows Commander Arbi Zarmaev, in whatever
health condition he may have, to leave with
us.
A coalition of psychopaths who holding power
in Belgium and blocking the formation of the
new government is provoking riots. They wish
to justify the construction of "special
prisons for Muslim extremists". They wish
to calm down the guards who are shocked that
their colleagues receive a premium to drug detainees
by force within the "special sections of
personal safety", as it is done in Russian
prisons to drive them to suicide.
Commander Arbi Zarmaev is one of these Chechen
war hero, who is drugged by force and tortured
in solitary refined by scientists to torment
him mentally. He maintains his sanity through
prayer. He is held in detention even though
the European Court of Human Rights has suspended
his extradition in a planed exchange against
Belgians in Russia.
His parents came with their relatives to the
Royal Park, opposite the Palace, in advance
of the appointment. When the father saw the
number of police vans, he asked that the support
groups be advised by mobile telephone to stay
behind the security perimeter, because he did
not want that others be tortured in the Belgian
prisons as his son is.
The Anti-Terrorism Brigade came with 18 heavily
armed policemen. It was not the troublemaker
unit in combat gear, which had surrounded and
jostled them and stolen our banner three weeks
earlier at the European Parliament. They ordered
the Chechens to disperse or be arrested and
detained for 12 hours which evoked laughter.
One reported that the repression builds each
year.
We dispersed in small groups in the park to
eat iced creams with the sons of Commander Arbi
Zarmaev at my invitation. We were waiting for
what was deemed "dangerous terrorist of
information" from Jan Boeykens, the president
of the NGO Morkhoven. He was bringing a new
banner "Free Arbi Alive". The recidivist
launched the "photo code", strictly
prohibited in Belgium, when it comes to exposing
the abuses of the psychopath Ministers.
Catholic "terrorists" unrolled the
"bomb", just long enough to take three
photographs and roll it back, which takes roughly
15 seconds. Three police officers had framed
us before the end of the operation. The fifteen
other officers followed: "You will have
to answer of your inconsistency," I was
informed by a gendarmette. They again claimed
to be entitled to steal our banner... under
the pretext of Anti-Terrorism. "No way',
answered Jan, who "hit and run", on
the grounds that banners are not yet classed
as prohibited weapons. One of the police officers
started to run after him, until another stopped
him, shouting to drop it.
I asked about the law that prohibited people
from taking photographs in a public park in
front of the Royal Palace, which raised a great
embarrassment. All police officers looked at
each other saying "uh" "uh"
when the gendarmette exclaimed: - "It's
in the police regulations... number, uh, uh...."
I pointed out that they did not even know what
we were doing there. It turns out that alienation
of the Bylaw number "uh, uh" is to
answer the questions whose answers end with
"uh, uh" with absurdities.
