A ruling by the Court of Appeal Leeuwarden in a case of a Moroccan-Dutch man Urk. The expectant in augustus 2015 racially addressed in Urk when he was walking with his wife and their baby. Three men threw an ashtray at his feet from a terrace and shouted things like: "new nigger, tidy” of “up on black, here are good for you“. There was then a quarrel and it came to a fight. The Court of Appeal states that there was no discriminatory insult, just plain insult. Therefore, she does not prosecute. It plays a role that the suspects have apologized.
