Good Day All...
So Natalee's parents are suing Aruba, per FOX.
Can they not sue the Van Der Sloot's directly?
They have brought suit against Aruba to release the evidence. This is not a suit for damages.

UPDATE 31:The media in Aruba today is mostly reporting that the detention of Steve Croes has been prolonged. He’ll be detained for at least 8 more days.Croes @ court house The picture is from the front page of AweMeinta and was taken while Croes, who had his face covered with his shirt, was being escorted into the court house. The local media is also reporting that the mother of Natalee Holloway, Beth, hired a local attorney to look into the case and that she hired an American organization, Texas EquuSearch, to help look for Natalee. According to FoxNews Beth Holloway is contemplating suing the Aruban government (the justice department in particular), but the local media of Aruba is not going as far a saying that nor is the Dutch media. The media in The Netherlands is also reporting that Beth wants to get insight in the case (documents) an that she hired an attorney to help her with this. They are not reporting that Beth wants to sue. Hasibokos.com has also learned that some political parties in Aruba, just as Beth Holloway, are criticizing their justice department. Earlier we informed you about the criticism that prime minister has been getting (Update29 ). On Monday local political party OLA gave a press conference during which they informed that they have compiled a document which contains a summary of the many mistakes that, in their opinion, have been made by the justice department during the treatment/investigation of the Holloway case. Many local are questioning the timing of this public criticism as the justice department of Aruba is already under a lot of pressure. The general opinion of the Aruban community is that this is not the time to be criticizing the justice department as there is too much attention right now on the Holloway case and this may lead to the broad (mis)conception that the Aruban justice system is flawed. (FYI: Prolonga = Prolonged)
