| Abstract |
|
In Belgium, a Congolese student and a minority organisation sought to obtain a ban on the comic book Tintin in the Congo. A Brussels court rejected their claims. Despite this outcome, the reasoning of the court jeopardises free speech. As regards the applicants: offensive as the comic may be, their recourse to the law seems both misdirected and counterproductive.
