Three Muslim speakers have successfully beaten a Dutch travel ban imposed by right-wing government ministers. 🇳🇱☪️🕌
A court in The Hague reversed a decision by Dutch ministers Faber and Van Weel to ban Ali Hammuda, Abu Bakr Zoud, and Mohammed Hijab from entering the Netherlands as the trio planned to attend a Ramadan Expo in Utrecht this weekend.
The attempt to block the entry of the three was based on allegations of "incitement to hatred and condoning violence".
But a judge ruled in summary proceedings that the ministers have "insufficiently substantiated why the arrival of the three speakers poses a threat to public order."
Mohammed Hijab celebrated his legal win on X:
"Historic victory! We took them to court, and we won. The Dutch authorities tried to silence us, but justice prevailed. No bans, no censorship—just the truth. I’ll be in Holland soon. See you there."
