Wijziging van het Wetboek van Strafvordering tot vastlegging van het recht op bronbescherming bij vrije nieuwsgaring (bronbescherming in strafzaken)

Stage submittedUpdated 5mo ago

This amendment proposes to legally establish the right to source protection for journalists in criminal proceedings. It aims to ensure that journalists can protect their confidential sources, which is crucial for free news gathering and investigative journalism. This change would affect journalists, media organizations, and individuals involved in criminal investigations where source protection is relevant. It strengthens the ability of the press to report freely without fear of revealing confidential information.
