Uitstel rechtszaak om bedreiging journalist

BREDA (ANP) - Vanwege doodsbedreigingen aan het adres van een Somalische journalist die in Breda woont, heeft de rechtbank in de Brabantse stad een kort geding dat woensdag tegen hem zou dienen uitgesteld. Dahir Alasow was gedagvaard door Dahabshiil, een bedrijf dat het versturen van geld faciliteert. De journalist ligt al jaren juridisch overhoop met de financiële instelling.

In een video op YouTube dreigt een man met bedekt gezicht dreigt Alasow te doden ,,als hij niet stopt’’. ,,Hij werd op de video gewezen door mensen uit de Somalische gemeenschap’’, vertelt zijn advocaat Peter Schouten. Hij stelde zondag na het zien van de video direct de politie en de rechtbank op de hoogte. De rechtbank besloot uit veiligheidsoverwegingen de behandeling van de zaak uit te stellen, legde een woordvoerster uit. Een nieuwe datum is nog niet bekend.

Tegen BN/De Stem zei Alasow dat hij al jaren wordt bedreigd door de islamitische terreurorganisatie Al-Shabaab. ,,Ik ben 90 procent zeker dat dat nu ook zo is.'' Dinsdag werd nog een journalist van de mediagroep waar Alasow voor werkt doodgeschoten in Mogadishu, de hoofdstad van Somalië. Alasow zelf vluchtte in 2007 naar Nederland.

Het kort geding tegen de journalist draait om publicaties waarin hij en zijn collega’s Dahabshill onder meer beschuldigen van het financieren van terrorisme. Dahabshill eist rectificatie en verwijdering van 13 berichten.

Het gerechtshof in Den Bosch veroordeelde Alasow vorig jaar tot rectificatie van een aantal eerdere beschuldigende verhalen over Dahabshiil. Tegen die uitspraak ging hij in cassatie.
