"Question No 8 by Efstratios Korakas ():
During the unprecedentedly large-scale demonstrations in Brussels on the occasion of the European Council Summit at Laeken, on 14 and 15 December, the police violently and provocatively charged peaceful demonstrators and even mere bystanders. Undercover secret police officers dressed as demonstrators mounted particularly brutal attacks. They beat demonstrators and bystanders savagely, apprehended dozens of citizens without any justification, tied them up and kept them lying on the ground for an hour – even those who were injured and bleeding – and humiliated women by stripping them in front of male police officers posing as interpreters. They rode roughshod over fundamental rights which the people had struggled for decades to win.
The Belgian Presidency and the media tried to cover up the events exposed by legal teams (teams of lawyers working to defend the demonstrators’ rights) and by victims of the attacks themselves.
Is the Council aware of these incidents and, if so, how does it view them?"@en1
