[Belgium] Protests: Peaceful protest

On 4 April 2025, at the call of students from ULB and VUB universities, approximately 450 people, including students, marched from the Ixelles cemetery to the ULB Solbosch campus in Brussels - Ixelles (Brussels) to protest against 'class-based justice' following a court ruling in a Leuven rape case, denouncing the suspended sentence given to a gynecology student convicted of rape, arguing that judicial outcomes should not depend on a perpetrator's social status. The march was accompanied by feminist music and slogans demanding accountability and equal justice.
