A Belgian court has rejected an application to ban a controversial Tintin book over claims it breaches racism laws.

It said it did not believe the 1946 edition of Tintin in the Congo was intended to incite racial hatred.

Congolese campaigner Bienvenu Mbutu Mondondo launched legal proceedings in 2007 to get the book banned, saying its portrayal of Africans was racist.
