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

This is a private member's bill (initiatiefwetgeving) submitted by Dutch MP Van Klaveren to the Tweede Kamer, the lower house of the Dutch parliament. It proposes amending the Dutch Criminal Code (Wetboek van Strafrecht) to broaden the scope of freedom of expression, which likely means narrowing or clarifying offences that restrict speech. Based on the title alone, the precise changes are not clear. The bill would mainly affect people whose speech could fall under criminal provisions, such as insult, incitement or defamation-related offences, and the courts applying them. Because this is based on metadata only, the exact groups affected and the scale of change should be checked in the full bill text and explanatory memorandum.
