(NL Times) Junaid I. was sentenced to 10 years in prison for threatening an attack on PVV leader Geert Wilders by the court in The Hague on Monday. The court convicted the 27-year-old Pakistani man of preparing for a murder with a terrorist purpose. The sentence is higher than the six years the public prosecutor demanded.
I. was arrested at Den Haag Centraal in August last year, shortly after he arrived from France. The night before his arrest, he posted a video on Facebook in which he announced an attack on Wilders at the Tweede Kamer, the lower house of Dutch parliament. He was furious about a cartoon competition featuring the prophet Mohammed that Wilders was organizing.
