"Pakistani Ex-Cricketer Receives 12-Year Sentence for Inciting Murder of Dutch MP"

Former Pakistani cricketer Khalid Latif has been sentenced to 12 years in prison by a Dutch court for inciting the murder of anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders. In an online video, Latif offered a reward for Wilders' head after the MP initiated a controversial competition involving cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. Latif, who was convicted in absentia, is unlikely to serve his sentence as Dutch authorities have been unable to question him and have not received cooperation from Pakistan. Wilders has called for Latif's arrest and extradition. The judge stated that Latif's video not only targeted Wilders personally but also attacked the concept of free speech in the Netherlands.
