“Staying at home doesn’t change anything”: how climate activist Wouter Mouton (48) went further and ended up in jail

Will the Bruges climate activist Wouter Mouton (48) stay in jail for at least a month longer? He caused a crash in the Tour of Bruges last week by sitting on the cobblestones. He has now been under lock and key for almost a week. Today the council chamber will decide whether this will remain the case pending his trial, or whether Mouton will be released. “Anyone who knows Wouter even a little knows that he would never hurt a fly,” says his lawyer Joke Callewaert. Although his ‘course’ does show that the man goes further and further to seek attention.
