Palme d’Or winners the Dardenne brothers issue statement following the cancellation of the Ramdan Film Festival over terrorist threats and the evacuation of a cinema.

It also follows the shooting of two suspected jihadists by police in an anti-terror operation in eastern Belgium. A third person was also arrested in the raid in Verviers, where weapons...
