Voorstel van wet van het lid Boswijk tot wijziging van het Wetboek van Strafrecht in verband met de strafbaarstelling van de verheerlijking van terrorisme

Stage otherUpdated 6d ago

This is a private member's bill in the Dutch House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer), introduced by MP Boswijk. It proposes amending the Dutch Criminal Code to make the glorification of terrorism a criminal offence. The bill is a legislative proposal from an individual MP rather than from the government, so it has to pass through the normal parliamentary process before it could become law. The metadata does not include the bill's full text, so the exact wording and penalties are not described here. If adopted, the change would apply to people in the Netherlands who publicly praise or celebrate terrorist acts or perpetrators. It would also bear on prosecutors, courts, and those who communicate political or religious views, since the line between glorification and lawful expression is a common point of debate in such laws.
