Dutch will allow paedophile group
A Dutch court has turned down a request to ban a political party with a
paedophile agenda.
Judge HFM Hofhuis ruled that the Brotherly Love, Freedom and Diversity Party
(PNVD) had the same right to exist as any other political party.
The PNVD was formed by three paedophiles in May, prompting outrage in Dutch
society.
It seeks to lower the age of sexual consent from 16 to 12 and legalise child
pornography and sex with animals.
"Freedom of expression...including the freedom to set up a political party
can be seen as the basis for a democratic society," Judge Hofhuis said in the
ruling, according to the Associated Press news agency.
"It is the right of the voter to judge the appeal of political parties," he
said.
