Detention of climate activists who smeared artwork ‘Girl with a pearl earring’ suspended: three Belgians free tomorrow

The pre-trial detention of the three Belgians who smeared the world-famous painting ‘Girl with a pearl earring’ in the Mauritshuis in The Hague is suspended. The suspects will be released tomorrow morning, a spokesperson for the court said. They have then been detained for three weeks and one day, slightly shorter than the month they actually have to be in prison. All three previously appealed.
