Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam told a Belgian court Monday his refusal to answer questions does not make him a criminal and charged that Muslims were "judged mercilessly."

"My silence does not make me a criminal, it`s my defence," Abdeslam said when asked why he attended the trial in Brussels but refused to answer questions.
