Belgium state prosecutors are investing the complaint of a Congolese that Tintin in the Congo contravenes the countries racism laws. Mbutu Mondondo Bienvenu, a political science student at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, said:

“This book should be banned. Belgian school children should not be exposed to this kind of racist commentary. It is propaganda for colonialism.”
