Dutch Seek 14-Year Sentences for Pakistani Men Over Threats to Geert Wilders
Sep 2, 2024, 02:18 PM
Two Pakistani men are being tried in absentia at a high-security court in the Netherlands for allegedly inciting the murder of Geert Wilders, a far-right and anti-Islam Dutch politician. Dutch prosecutors have called for prison sentences of up to 14 years for the accused, including a Pakistani Muslim leader, who reportedly issued public calls for Wilders' murder. Wilders, known for his anti-Islam stance, has been living under protection due to threats from radicals. This trial marks the Netherlands' first prosecution related to an Islamic fatwa.
