Dutch gov't wants suspects in high-security prisons to attend hearings via video call

NL Times  

Suspects in the highest security prison in the Netherlands must attend their hearings via a video connection. The Cabinet supports this plan by VVD parliamentarian Ulysse Ellian, said State Secretary Teun Struycken. Ellian proposed an amendment to the new Code of Criminal Procedure so that suspects from both the most severe Extra Secure Institution in Vught and the relatively severe Intensive Supervision Departments appear before the judge digitally. State Secretary Struycken proposed to have his civil servants think along with Ellian about an amendment that the Cabinet fully supports.
