Belgium suppresses research on crime and immigrants
 Researcher Marion Van San has been commissioned with another scientist to carry out a new study into illegal immigrants in Belgium, reports Belgian newspaper De Standaard. The Flemish paper reported Friday that Van San (40) considers Belgium a sensitive country when it comes to carrying out investigations between immigrants and crime. Apparently, in 1999 by the previous Minister of Justice Marc Verwilghen (VLD), had asked her to investigate the share foreign youth had in crimes carried out in Belgium, compared to the share of the total population. The report was written; however, its official release was constantly put off for political reasons. She later learned that the rather critical and detailed investigation was being politically blocked and finally ignored, only because it proved the connection between foreigners and crime.
