An anti-monarchy campaigner is being take to court for insulting the Dutch royal family at a rally in Amsterdam last year. Abulkasim Al-Jaberi was arrested at a demonstration against Zwarte Piet for shouting ‘fuck the king, fuck the queen and fuck the monarchy’. The arrest was captured on film by local broadcaster AT5.
...
The arrest was ordered by Amsterdam’s mayor Eberhard van der Laan but he reportedly said at the time he had doubts about whether the outburst was a crime. ‘It is a very crass comment, but should it be a criminal offence?’ the mayor is quoted as saying by the Volkskrant. Jebbink said he will call king Willem-Alexander and queen Máxima as witnesses. ‘We want to ask them if they feel personally insulted or if they support freedom of speech for their subjects,’ he said. Al-Jaberi is due to appear in court in Amsterdam on May 27 after refusing to accept an out of court deal involving a €500 fine.

Good for him. Stand up for the right to say what you will. I wouldn't have taken the deal to pay a fine either.

Yes, because we can see that inside a given country everyone gets along, removing borders would make everyone happy... Originally Posted by VodkaRedBull

Afaik the guy is Dutch so telling him to fuck off or "go back to his own country" is pretty dumb. Unless you can't voice dissent or disapproval with the way a state operates without being a traitor, which is an even more ridiculous argument to make.

If he wants to say fuck the king, he can say fuck the king. He is in no way protected from the consequences of his action.

OT, after my last comment.
I don't believe the times this needs to be said. Freedom of speech in Europe, much like the way it is known to exist in 'murica, dictates everyone is free to say everything they goddamn want. Then they're also accountable for what they choose to say.

In America, probably the most sensible place when it comes to free speech laws. You can say fuck the president, and not go to jail. Originally Posted by Poopymonster

It's becoming less "much like" America though... people are being fined and arrested for things they never would be for saying here. Originally Posted by Azgraal

Lets hope the King and Queen get a say in this (and hope they laugh it off, they might)

@ VodkaRedBull
LOL .... We can't all just run around and have total anarchy... We might not need monarchs but we do need some kind of system.Last edited by mmoc252a036afc; 2015-05-06 at 10:12 PM. Reason: Failed quote
