WILLEMSTAD - The question is now, is the former prime minister on hunger strike or is he not? According to his lawyer, Gerrit Schotte has been on hunger strike in prison since Sunday. A
The prison director previously dismissed those reports as fake news. Prisoners in block six would be dissatisfied with the circumstances in which they are detained.
Schotte's lawyer is now considering an official request to have him serve his sentence at home because the prison is unfit. They would also not take Schotte's diet sufficiently into account, in which he does not eat pork and fish.
