Precipitated broker continues

Nearly six months after the entrepreneur by police violence suffered a brain hemorrhage and declaration did, the Registrar involved is still not regarded as a suspect.

Lawyer Vroegh: "it's the reverse world. We had to come up with all kinds of evidence. It does nothing, despite promises for a transparent investigation. To the police for months are police reports with incriminating witness statements, video images and a NFI-report. That should be enough for a criminal investigation. Because it is not decision or the agent may or may not be continued, we ask the college of Prosecutors General to intervene. "

Vascular disease Saskia van Kessel (39) suffers from a rare vascular disease causing a fall or blow can be fatal for her. Last december, three hours after the riots to a refugee centre in Geldermalsen, they ended up in such a levensbedreigdende situation.

"I was that night with my partner at friends", Saskia looks back. "It was quiet again in Geldermalsen, when we arrived at home around midnight. But that changed from one on the other time. "

Overflowing when the two heard around the corner of the street noise, Saskia and her friend a few steps aside to watch. At that time the couple was overflowing by the police. It was going to be a Romeo maintenance unit of the region of Gelderland-Middle – dressed in dark civilian clothes and equipped with batons-that visitors from a neighbouring café chased.

After agents Saskia's friend without following with batons against head and legs, and the broker called that they were at their home, slammed the Registrar involved the woman with force against the ground. A witness told later to the police: "I saw that she with her mind against the street. I heard a dull thud. That was the fall ".

Another eye-witness, in an official report: ' I heard Saskia van Kessel are calling ' I live here, I live here, I need a key '. She was already on the ground, her arm for her face. One of the agents pounded on her in, others stood around it. ' Also on recordings made by eye-witnesses is to see how the woman fell prey to police violence. Lawyer Vroegh: "the police unit also made recordings of the action itself. But justice denies the existence of it. "

NFI less than half an hour later it went wrong with Saskia. "It was as if something felt snapping in my head. I got terrible headaches and was terribly nauseous. " She was rushed Hospital where a brain hemorrhage was detected. The NFI said that the police violence the cause.

Now, almost six months later is Saskia still mentally and physically not the old. "According to doctors, the question is whether it's ever good comes. I still need plenty of rehabilitation and can't do much. Colleagues keep my business going. I have often suffer from severe headache, I hard to focus and forget a lot of things. A few hours work per day, is all that I can handle. Sometimes not even that. "

Traumatic also mentally ran it a severe blow on. "that look in the eyes of the agent was terrifying, as if he wanted to kill me. I had initially not even realize that the agents were, because they carried no police clothing. The realization that a legislature you death, is traumatic. I also scare of men who appear on that agent. His eyes I see every day for me. "

The dozens of bunches of flowers, hundreds of cards and many fruit baskets that Saskia got, support. "Still speak every day on the street and they show me Geldermalsen servants sympathy. There is also anger. Rioters get heavy sentences. As an agent someone to nothing injures, that freely. "

Hand above the head according to the business woman all the indications are that the policeman the hand above the head. "He's only heard much later, as a witness and not as a suspect, and denies to have beaten me. The other officers of the unit have seen absolutely nothing. I understand that everyone, including the police, make mistakes. What I don't understand is that the Government not give in. How sick I feel, I will to continue to fight. "

The of Arnhem that still other investigations and that no decision has been taken. Which examinations that, Justice does not explain. Nor does it why the agent no suspect is.
