An independent arbitration commission established by the Belgian parliament in 2010, in order to process compensation claims for child sexual abuse within the Catholic Church, is accused of silencing the victims. It obliges those who are awarded damages never to speak publicly of the facts and never to sue the Church. Socialist MP Renaat Landuyt accuses church officials on the commission to have lobbied for this.
