(NL Times) Activist Mohammed Khatib of the pro-Palestinian organization Samidoun will speak via a video link at a protest in Wageningen on Friday. The Netherlands denied Khatib access to the country last month when he was invited by Radboud University employees to speak in Nijmegen.
Friday’s protest is organized by the pro-Palestinian action group Wageningen Encampment. The speech will happen on the Wageningen University & Research campus at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, the group said on Instagram.
On X, Minister Marjolein Faber of Asylum and Migration said that Khatib is still not welcome in the Netherlands. “The entry ban I imposed on Khatib in consultation with the Ministry of Justice and Security still stands,” she wrote. She called on educational institutions “not to facilitate the online dissemination of a hateful message.”
