Prime Minister receives family of NGO employee detained in Iran
It was the mother, sister and a good friend of Olivier Vandecasteele who were received at 16 Wetstraat. “We thank the government for its support since February 24”, the day on which Vandecasteele was “unjustly” arrested, his sister Nathalie said.
“We ask that our country does everything to get Olivier released as soon as possible. This situation is no longer viable, for him or for his family.”
On Thursday, the plenary Chamber will vote on the draft law that makes it possible for Belgium and Iran to extradite prisoners to each other.
