A Dutch court has convicted two Pakistani leaders, Muhammad Ashraf Jalali and Saad Hussain Rizvi, for inciting their followers to murder far-right politician Geert Wilders, sentencing Jalali to 14 years and Rizvi to four years in absentia. The court ruled that Jalali, a religious leader, attempted to provoke murder with terrorist intent by issuing a fatwa against Wilders, while Rizvi was convicted for threatening statements made on social media. Neither defendant attended the trial nor appointed legal representation, and both are believed to be in Pakistan, which has no extradition agreement with the Netherlands. Wilders, who has faced numerous threats due to his outspoken anti-Islam views, expressed satisfaction with the verdicts. The court emphasized that such threats undermine personal privacy and freedom of expression within a democratic society. This case highlights ongoing tensions surrounding Wilders' controversial political stance on Islam and immigration in Europe.
