Saad Rizvi, the leader of Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan, and the leader of the breakaway faction Tehreek-i-Labbaik were found guilty by a Dutch court on Monday. Dr. Muhammad Ashraf Jalali of Ya Rasool Allah is accused of inciting his followers to kill far-right and anti-Islamic activist Geert Wilders.
The guys were not made to appear in court as requested by Pakistan, so on Monday at a high-security court in the Netherlands, they were on trial in absentia.
A 14-year sentence was handed down for the 56-year-old religious leader Jalali after he incited his followers to assassinate Wilders and assured them they would be “rewarded in the afterlife.”
29-year-old Rizvi received a four-year sentence for inciting his followers to assassinate Wilders after Pakistani cricket player Khalid Latif was found guilty of encouraging his murder.
