Dear Reader
First of all, we would like to announce the passing of local politician, Jacinto Mock, yesterday morning. Mock with his SRP party brave the odds as a lone politician who could be seen by himself campaigning tirelessly for his Social Reform Party, as seen pictured in this 2014 file
photo. Mock was born in The Dominican Republic (Santo Domingo) on the 21st of July 1968. He was 49 when he passed. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. May his sole rest in eternal peace.

The independent judge is a precious and essential part of our judicial system. This means that, in general, court rulings simply have to be respected. If you don’t agree, the system offers appeal options.
While the system seems to be fair and balanced, not all court rulings are properly understood and at times it is hard to explain why a ruling went a certain way.
This is for instance the case with the decision by Dutch courts to shield the names of two police officers who are on trial for the death of Aruban Mitch Henriquez. The attorneys for the Henriquez family have done their utmost to obtain these names but to no avail.
