Today's case is Sanda Dia, a clever, and ambitious young man, had his life tragically cut short during a brutal hazing ritual in 2018. Sanda was attempting to join an elite, wealthy, and predominantly white fraternity called Reuzegom at KU Leuven in Belgium. For nearly 48 hours, he endured unimaginable torture. This case revealed the harsh reality of how racism, classism, and privilege allowed the 18 members involved to avoid serious punishment. The Belgian courts' decision sparked outrage and raised serious questions about whether money always wins when it comes to justice. In 2020, when the Black Lives Matter movement began, calls for justice for Sanda Dia erupted across university campuses in Belgium and the Netherlands. Angered by the trial's verdict, YouTuber Acid exposed the identities of the 18 boys involved. But, his punishment ended up being greater than what was given to those responsible for Sanda's death.
