Et homofilt par saksøker de lokale myndighetene i Utrecht, politiet og sentralregjeringen i Nederland for emosjonell og finansiell skade etter å ha blitt utsatt for langvarig intimidering og vold fra marokkanske ungdommer.

Til tross for åtte anmeldelser til politiet de siste årene har ingen mistenkte blitt arrestert for å stå bak den systematiske trakasseringen av paret, som etterhvert så seg nødt til å flytte:

The men are holding the municipality, the police and the State liable. They want to force a damages settlement from the three bodies via civil proceedings. In separate proceedings, they also want to compel judges to force the Public Prosecutor’s Office (OM) to prosecute the perpetrators.

Between the summer of 2009 and 2010, the men were continually intimidated. Windows of their house were broken and their car was damaged. Because police there said they could not take action against this, the men eventually found themselves forced to sell their home at way below its estimated value.
