Overview
- John A., 27, received six months in prison with four months suspended and 240 hours of community service for projections in Rotterdam and Eindhoven.
- Danii S., 37, was acquitted of involvement in the Eindhoven projection for lack of proof but was sentenced to four months, two suspended, and 120 hours of service for Rotterdam.
- The court ruled that Erasmus Bridge messages including “White Lives Matter,” “Vrolijk Blank 2023,” and the “14 words” amounted to discriminatory expression when taken together.
- Texts projected on Eindhoven’s city hall such as “Houd Lampegat blank” were deemed group insult linked to a white‑supremacist ideology, leading to conviction only for John A.
- Both men were acquitted over an Alkmaar projection that merely named the website “Europe: The Last Battle,” and they were punished for possessing racist stickers and flyers.
