INSIDE SCHNEWS

R*n*ta Z*l*zna is currently in prison in the Netherlands for attempted murder of a policeman. She received no representation or legal advice.

According to her friends R*n*ta was cooking in her home when she went out to ask some nearby builders to keep the noise down. A fight ensued which ended with R*n*ta throwing a rock at a bulldozer and then going back indoors. Half an hour later plainclothes police arrived, she opened the door and was told she was under arrest for criminal damage. She was holding a small knife at the time but she didn’t threaten anyone with it. The policeman seized her, threw her to the floor and then CS gassed her. She was then carried to the car in handcuffs.

She was held for three days in a cell with no toilet, refused vegan food or a change of clothes or sanitary products. A judge came to the cell window for ten minutes and remanded her. She is currently awaiting trial in prison.
