At 8:30 a.m., a colorful group of people is standing on the Vrouwe Justitiaplein in Utrecht, right in front of the court. A tall boy with dreadlocks and shaved temples, another with faded pink locks, a girl with a zipper of piercings in her ears and hair in various shades of purple. Some all in black, a petite woman in a bright red coat with black dots and a red beret. They are members and sympathizers of Active for Justice. Six of them will stand trial in half an hour for the occupation of restaurant Bistronome Des Arts on the Lijnmarkt.
