"[A] judge has decided that confiscation [of the] material is justified. We do not agree on this. They want to erase part of the images and copy a part. Going to try to do a counter proposal to [the] investigation team. Hopefully they will agree, if not, we are going to object," Stefan Beck, one of the journalists, wrote on Facebook.
As UNIAN reported earlier, two Dutch journalists, Stefan Beck and Michel Spekkers, were temporarily detained by police at the Amsterdam airport upon arrival from Donbas on January 9. All of the materials related to the MH17 crash they collected in Donbas were confiscated by the police.
