Prosecutors Seek 14-Year Sentence for Pakistani Men Who Threatened Geert Wilders
News summary

Dutch prosecutors have demanded prison sentences of up to 14 years for two Pakistani men, Muhammed Ashraf Jalali and Saad Hussain Rizvi, who allegedly incited the murder of far-right politician Geert Wilders. The trial took place in absentia due to the men's absence from the Netherlands, as the country lacks an extradition treaty with Pakistan. Wilders, who has faced Islamist threats for over two decades, testified about the profound impact of these threats on his life, highlighting his need for constant security. Jalali, a religious leader, reportedly urged followers to kill Wilders, while Rizvi, the leader of the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan party, is also accused of incitement. Previous cases involving threats against Wilders have resulted in significant sentences for other Pakistani nationals, underscoring ongoing concerns about political violence. The court is set to announce its verdict on September 9.
