Resumen de Netherlands: : Dutch public broadcaster acted unlawfully towards a Syrian refugee
In a judgment on preliminary relief proceedings on 15 December 2015, the District Court of Amsterdam ruled that the Dutch public broadcaster PowNed acted unlawfully towards a Syrian refugee. PowNed broadcast video images in which the plaintiff refugee talked about a medical problem with his testicles and seemed to express an aversion to homosexuality. PowNed also shared the fragment on its Facebook page, where it was widely viewed, shared, liked and received many negative comments. The footage was made during a conversation between the plaintiff and a reporter of PowNed while she visited a temporary reception location for refugees.
