Gesloten deuren
Het proces voor de moord op de Russische journaliste Anna Politkovskaja moet alsnog achter gesloten deuren plaatsvinden. (...) De juryleden zouden bang zijn voor vergelding. (...) Politkovskaja's nabestaanden vrezen dat door het nieuwe besluit het proces geen antwoord op cruciale vragen zal geven.
Trouw, gisteren.

Volgens een jurylid in de Politkovskaja-rechtszaak heeft de jury helemaal niet gevraagd om de zaak achter gesloten deuren te behandelen. Dat melden medewerkers van de onafhankelijke radio-zender Echo Moskvy aan persorganisatie Reporters sans Frontières (RSF).

Republiek onder de monarchie
De gemeente Amsterdam sluit 43 coffeeshops omdat ze te dicht bij middelbare scholen zijn gevestigd. (...) Amsterdam sluit de coffeeshops met tegenzin, maar moet zich houden aan regelgeving van het Rijk. "Ik zou het niet verzonnen hebben", aldus Cohen in de Volkskrant. (...) Volgens de gemeente leveren coffeeshops niet meer overlast op dan andere horecazaken.

Stonede enquêtes
Bijna driekwart van de gemeenten met veel coffeeshops wil de verkoop en de kweek van cannabis legaliseren. Dat blijkt uit een enquête van de NOS in dertig gemeenten die meer dan vier coffeeshops in hun district hebben.
NOS.nl, vandaag.

Ruim de helft van alle burgemeesters die een coffeeshop binnen de eigen gemeentegrenzen hebben, pleit voor legalisering van de hele softdrugs-keten. (...) Dat blijkt uit een telefonisch onderzoek van weekblad Binnenlands Bestuur onder de 106 gemeenten met een of meer coffeeshops.
Binnenlands Bestuur.nl, vandaag.

De meeste burgemeesters van gemeenten met coffeeshops hebben geen problemen met het huidige gedoogbeleid. Dat mag zelfs ruimer. (...) Dat blijkt uit een schriftelijke rondvraag die deze krant naar alle 105 gemeenten met één of meer coffeeshops stuurde. 66 burgemeesters gaven antwoord. Ruim driekwart van hen wil dat het kabinet de bevoorrading van coffeeshops reguleert en de kweek van cannabis onder voorwaarden toestaat. Een kwart van hen vindt dat de maximale voorraad cannabis die coffeeshops in de zaak mogen hebben (500 gram) moet worden verhoogd.
