Prominent Dutch lawyer Gerard Spong says he will take Suriname and its parliament to court if it adopts a controversial amnesty law. The law would grant immunity to those suspected of involvement in the so-called December Murders of 15 opposition members in 1982. The law would breach both the country's constitution and international law, Mr Spong said in television programme Pauw & Witteman on Friday evening. The lawyer advised the Surinames government concerning the December Murders.
