Voorstel van wet van het lid Martin Bosma tot wijziging van het Wetboek van Strafrecht in verband met een verruiming van de vrijheid van meningsuiting

Stage otherUpdated 6d ago

This is a private member's bill from Martin Bosma, a Dutch Member of Parliament, proposing changes to the Dutch Criminal Code to broaden freedom of expression. Based only on the title, it appears to target criminal provisions that limit what people may say, such as those on insult or offensive speech. Such laws balance free speech against protection from harm. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full bill text. If adopted, the bill would affect people in the Netherlands who speak or publish in public, and those who could be prosecuted under current speech-related offences. Its exact effects depend on the specific articles amended.
