Public prosecutors to prosecute Pakistanis who urged people to murder Geert Wilders

(NL Times) The Public Prosecution Service (OM) will prosecute a religious leader and political leader in Pakistan who urged their followers to murder Geert Wilders — according to the OM, the two men from Pakistan made their comments verbally at meetings and on social media with videos and text messages.

The men are 55 and 29 years of age. Their case will be heard on September 2 at the judicial complex at Schiphol, [the] OM announced on Wednesday. The 55-year-old religious leader is suspected of attempting to instigate the murder of the Dutch politician. In several appeals, he would state “that this act will be rewarded in the afterlife.”

The 29-year-old political leader is suspected of incitement to murder. The OM claims that he said he and the public should take on this task. He did this after Khalid Latif, a Pakistani former cricketer, was convicted in the Netherlands of attempted solicitation of murder.
