The court in Leeuwarden has acquitted Jan Roos of sedition. The presenter of the program RoddelPraat was on trial for his statements about the Sunneklaas festival on Ameland, in which he called on islanders to kick journalists off the island with "pitchforks and torches." According to the judge, the charges did not amount to incitement to violence, but rather to humor and satire.
