Van Gogh murder suspects charged
Monday 07 February 2005, 18:43 Makka Time, 15:43 GMT
Dutch prosecutors have accused 12 men of threatening to kill prominent politicians and said their arrest had foiled other attacks.
The man accused of a ritualistic killing that shocked the Netherlands went on trial yesterday carrying a copy of the Koran and refusing to defend himself against murder charges.
Mohammed Bouyeri, who was born in Amsterdam to Moroccan parents, faces life in jail if convicted of the murder of the film-maker Theo van Gogh, who was shot six times as he cycled to work in Amsterdam, and had his throat cut.
Mr van Gogh, a descendant of the 19th-century painter, was a prominent critic of Islamic fundamentalism and his 10-minute film Submission portrayed abuse of women in Muslim communities. The killer left a five-page note, fixed to the corpse with a knife, threatening one of Mr Van Gogh's collaborators, the Dutch MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who was forced into hiding.
The attack sent shock waves through Dutch society, provoking an outpouring of grief and straining the country's reputation for tolerance. In the aftermath of the murder in November last year there were attacks on mosques and other Muslim targets.
Yesterday, in a high-security court, Mr Bouyeri confirmed his identity before his lawyer, Peter Plasman, said his client did not recognise the court's authority and would not mount a defence. Mr Plasman added: "My client wants no defence by him, nor on his behalf, and that's a very thoroughly considered decision. This is probably the last thing I'll be saying at this trial."
Mr Bouyeri, in a flowing tan robe and a black and white checked headscarf, listened carefully to the proceedings, stroking his beard, but avoiding eye contact with the victim's mother and sister. Prompted repeatedly by judges to address the court, the accused replied only: "I have nothing to add."
On the witness stand, Mr van Gogh's sister Josien said: "The brutal murder left a gaping hole in our family, a hole that will never be filled. I hope that [Bouyeri] gets the heaviest possible punishment. But in November, we were already given a life sentence."
The victim's mother, Anneke, said the "impact this event had will stay in the hearts and minds of people for a long time".
Mr Bouyeri faces a total of six charges, including murder and attempted murder of two passers-by who were hit by bullets.
He is also accused of firing at police officers at the attack scene.
The murder has also raised questions about intelligence failings because the Dutch security services admitted that they had kept Mr Bouyeri under surveillance since 2002. Last week, in an interview with the Trouw newspaper, Josien van Gogh, said of the security service, the AIVD: "If they had been more alert, he might still be alive."
Twelve men accused of belonging of belonging, like Mr Bouyeri, to a radical Islamic group codenamed the Hofstad Network, are awaiting trial on terrorism charges.
More than 50 terrorism suspects have been arrested in the Netherlands since the 9/11 attacks although most of those brought to trial have been acquitted. Mr Bouyeri has spent several months under psychiatric observation and has refused to co-operate with prosecutors.
The prosecutor, Frits van Straelen, told a pre-trial hearing that he would present forensic evidence including clothes, a bag, the murder weapon and ammunition. Mr van Straelen also intends to present pictures found at Mr Bouyeri's home which show executions, beheadings, hangings, throat-cuttings, amputations and deaths by stoning.
The suspect in the killing of the film-maker Theo van Gogh has admitted his guilt to a Dutch court, declaring he acted out of religious conviction and would kill again.
Mohammed Bouyeri, 27, an Islamist, faces possible life imprisonment for stabbing and shooting Mr van Gogh on 2 November last year. He did not mount a defence. "I did it out of conviction," he said. "If I ever get free, I would do it again."
At one point he turned in his chair and spoke to Anneke Van Gogh, the victim's mother, who was in the public gallery. "I don't feel your pain," he said. "I don't have any sympathy for you. I can't feel for you because I think you're a non-believer."
Bouiyeri, who is accused of terrorism and other offences, spoke slowly in Dutch with a Moroccan accent. He glanced down at notes, paused between sentences, and chose his words carefully. "Maybe you could find some consolation if the maximum sentence is given," he said. He also addressed police who he fired upon eight months ago: "I shot to kill and to be killed. You cannot understand."
Prosecutors are seeking a life sentence. A verdict is expected on 26 July.
The man whomurdered the film-maker and critic of Islam Theo van Gogh, provoking an outpouring of grief and igniting racial tension in the Netherlands, has been sentenced to life in prison.
Mohammed Bouyeri, a Dutch-born Muslim of Moroccan descent, was convicted of shooting Mr Van Gogh seven times, then trying to decapitate him as he cycled to work in Amsterdam last November.
The murder caused revulsion in the Netherlands and prompted a series of attacks on mosques in several cities. It also hardened the tough, anti-immigration line taken by the centre-right Dutch government.
Yesterday, Judge Udo Willem Bentinck said Bouyeri had shown no remorse for a murder with "terrorist intent", convicting him under a law introduced in August last year.
The judge told a packed, heavily guarded hearing of Amsterdam District Court that the victim had beenn "mercilessly slaughtered" in a crime which was designed to undermine democracy in the Netherlands. The attack had, he said, "prompted great feelings of fear and insecurity in society".
Dressed in a grey robe and black and white headscarf, the defendant, 27, was impassive as the judgment was read out. He was forced to attend the hearing after he had refused to be there voluntarily.
The conviction and life sentence was no surprise since Bouyeri had admitted the attack annd it was witnessed by several people, one of whom took a photo of the assailant. He was arrested after a shoot-out with police.
The court also found Bouyeri guilty of the attempted murder of eight police officers and two bystanders, illegal possession of weapons and munitions, and of threatening Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born Dutch politician.
She had collaborated with Mr Van Gogh over a film called Submission which portrayed Islam as a misogynous religion which condoned violence against women. Ms Hirsi Ali's life was threatened in a note pinned to Mr Van Gogh's body with a knife, and she was forced into hiding for several months.
But the judges decided Bouyeri had acted alone rather than being part of a wider conspiracy.
The verdict ends one of the most high-profile murder cases in the Netherlands in recent years during which the accused refused to offer a defence, claiming he did not accept the authority of the court.
During the trial the prosecutor displayed photographs of the weapons used by Bouyeri: a gun, a machete-like weapon used to try to cut through Mr Van Gogh's neck, and a filleting knife that pinned the letter threatening Ms Hirsi Ali to the victim's stomach.
Bouyeri showed no sign of remorse, saying he would do the same again given the opportunity. On 12 July he told the court: "I should cut everyone's head off who insults Allah or his prophet."
As Bouyeri headed for a lifetime behind bars, Hans Janssen, an expert on Islam from the University of Utrecht warned that the convicted man would try to convert fellow prisoners to his "radical, violent form of Islam." Mr Janssen told Radio Netherlands: "Recruitment is going on in prisons, not only in this country, but in most countries that have prisoners who have been sentenced for Islamic terrorist activity. Usually, the prison authorities and the secret services try to find out what is going on, but I'm sure they miss a lot."
Under Dutch law Bouyeri will not qualify for parole unless granted early release by the Dutch monarch, who would take guidance from the trial judge and justice minister.
