Investigation Into Tintin Au Congo

An agency designated as the Brussels public prosecution department will investigate charges of racism against publisher Moulinsart, which holds the rights to Tintin Au Congo, claiming that its outmoded and outdated depiction of people from that part of Africa is racist and insulting. The book had recently come into some controversy when a few gigantic book chains worldwide decided to move the book from the children section to the adult section of their retail establishments. Some called for more, and at least on some level, it looks as if one student heard them.

The first step will be a preliminary hearing about the case's admissibility.
