On 18th July we won the 5th and final court case in Poland, which not only prevented the return of Martin to The Netherlands (who had planned to place him in an inappropriate institution for the mentally handicapped for life) but also removed all powers of the incompetent Dutch courts over Martin's life.

From now on, the Polish courts have legal power over whom Martin lives with, and across five separate court victories, they have resoundingly declared that Martin belongs with his perfectly safe parents. So that we can care for him and arrange school and therapy suitable to his autistic traits.

We the parents would like to think the high integrity Polish courts, Polish media, our Polish lawyers BKLAW and all of you more than 20,000 Change.org supporters who directly and indirectly added energy towards Martin's freedom!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
