(NL Times) Three “extremist speakers” who were to be guests at an event in Utrecht this weekend will not be granted entry into the country. The minister of justice and security, David van Weel, and minister of asylum and migration, Marjolein Faber, have decided to deny the three entry into the Netherlands, they said in a statement.
The Cabinet’s reason for banning these foreign Islamic speakers was “reprehensible comments” that they made in the past about women and homosexuals. They also “trivialized” sex with minors, and one of them denied Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
“These comments can contribute to a climate of hate, hostility, and glorification of violence,” said the ministers.
