Explanation
A Dutch court on Monday convicted Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) chief Saad Hussain Rizvi and breakaway faction Tehreek-i-Labbaik Ya Rasool Allah’s chief Dr Muhammad Ashraf Jalali on charges of inciting their followers to murder far-right and anti-Islam leader Geert Wilders. The two men were tried in absentia as Pakistan did not force the men to appear at the high-security trial as requested by the Netherlands. Jalali was handed a 14-year sentence for calling on his followers to hang or behead Wilders. In an April 2022 video on Jalali’s YouTube channel, he could be heard saying that Wilders should be “handed over to Pakistan” and hanged publicly here.
