In this case, the press said it wanted to protect the age and the rehabilitation of the culprits. Some Flemish media have mentioned the non-voluntary nature of the homicide or the fact that racism was not the subject of the trial.
However, Jacques Englebert, a lawyer specializing in media law, finds “incomprehensible” that the press did not reveal their names. And if he understands the reason for rehabilitation, he believes that this criterion should then be applied for other types of convictions. “I understand that in public opinion, there is unease and that we say to ourselves that we are bringing grist to the mill for those who say to themselves there is class justice”he shouts.
To this is also added the fact that some of these culprits were able to continue their studies abroad, according to the lawyer and professor at the ULB. “You still have to remember the ignominy of the facts. These young people continued their studies abroad and now say ‘we would like to be able to reintegrate’. I find that in a society, it is not abnormal that the public is fully informed with the identity. I don’t see how that’s a problem.”
