Niederlande. Justice ministry manipulated studies into cannabis policy, says Nieuwsuur
Senior justice ministry officials directly interfered with independent research into the ministry’s own soft drugs policy, current affairs programme Nieuwsuur said on Wednesday night. The programme said that researchers altered unwelcome conclusions and reformulated research questions at officials’ request. The aim, Nieuwsuur said, was to manipulate the findings to ensure they supported existing policy rather than criticised it. (DutchNews.nl, 07.11.2017)
