White March

The White March (French: Marche blanche; Dutch: Witte Mars; German: Weißer Marsch) was a demonstration in Brussels on 20 October 1996 after serial killer and criminal Marc Dutroux was arrested. The demonstrators wanted better protection for children and a better functioning justice system that could investigate the Dutroux affair independently. In French, peaceful demonstrations commemorating victims (memorial marches) are called "marches blanches".
