In a ruling that many call a dark day for democracy and freedom of speech, Dutch legal philosopher and outspoken critic of mass migration Raisa Blommestijn has been sentenced to 80 hours of community service—twice the prosecution’s initial demand. The verdict includes 40 hours conditional and a €1,550 compensation to former MP Sidney Smeets, further igniting concerns over judicial overreach and political persecution in the Netherlands.
The Verdict
Standing outside the courthouse in The Hague, Blommestijn described the ruling as a damning indictment of free speech in a nation increasingly hostile to dissenting voices. “Today is a dark day for democracy, the rule of law, and freedom of speech,” she declared. “I have been convicted, but with me, everyone who shares my views has been silenced.”
Blommestijn condemned the court for interpreting her words to fit a predetermined narrative. “An interpretation was imposed on me that I didn’t say, didn’t write, and didn’t mean. Someone else is deciding what I meant by my words. That is utterly insane,” she said, framing the decision as a symptom of broader authoritarianism creeping into Western democracies.
The Charges and Courtroom Controversy
The case centers on Blommestijn’s tweets, particularly one condemning a violent attack on a white man, where she wrote: “Yet another white man beaten up on the street by a group of Negroid primates. How many more defenseless whites must become victims? Countless, probably: the open-borders elite imports these people in droves, with all the consequences that entails.” Prosecutors labeled her language as polarizing, offensive, and stigmatizing to minorities, accusing her of inciting hatred and contributing to societal polarization.
In another tweet, Blommestijn referred to former D66 MP Sidney Smeets as a “kindergarten fucker,” a label prosecutors claim is defamatory. They noted that the term had already been the subject of a previous court ruling that found similar language to be unlawful.
Prosecutors argue that Blommestijn’s language not only stigmatizes minorities and individuals but also contributes to societal polarization. They contend that her words, particularly the phrase “Negroid primates,” are an example of incitement that undermines the principles of equality and respect in a “multicultural” society.
Despite the prosecution’s initial demand for 40 hours of community service, the court imposed a harsher sentence—80 hours in total—leaving observers stunned. Hakan Külcü, Blommestijn’s lawyer, criticized the ruling as emotionally driven and lacking in judicial impartiality. “Rarely have I experienced a judgment with so little wisdom,” he said. “The court exceeded the prosecution’s demand, which suggests underlying bias.”
Külcü confirmed they will appeal the decision, stating, “We are not done here. We will go to the Court of Appeal and, if necessary, the Supreme Court and European Court of Human Rights. This ruling will not stand unchallenged.”
A Broader Crackdown on Dissent
Blommestijn’s supporters argue that her conviction reflects a dangerous trend in the Netherlands and across Europe: the criminalization of political dissent, particularly for those criticizing mass migration and government policies.
Referencing her dissertation on the Weimar Republic, Blommestijn drew parallels to authoritarianism, warning, “We are collectively heading toward an abyss. The decline has set in, and democracy is slipping away before our eyes.”
Her case has become emblematic of the growing tension between free expression and state censorship. Blommestijn maintains that her comments, however blunt, expose systemic failures linked to unchecked immigration. “This is about behavior, not color,” she clarified, echoing arguments that crime statistics reflect a broader societal issue.
A Symbol of Resistance
For her supporters, Blommestijn is a symbol of courage in the face of a state apparatus determined to stifle inconvenient truths. “Freedom of speech has become a hollow shell,” she said, urging citizens to take a stand. “We need to make our voices heard. If they silence me today, they’ll silence you tomorrow.”
Next Steps
Blommestijn’s appeal promises to reignite the debate over free speech, judicial fairness, and the limits of public discourse. With growing public outcry and calls for systemic change, the case is set to test not only the Dutch legal system but the resilience of Western democratic values.
As Blommestijn put it, “This fight is bigger than me. It’s about preserving the freedom to criticize those in power. We cannot let them win.”
For now, the battle continues—one appeal at a time.

Well, like it or not she is scientifically accurate in her description of many African immigrants. All humans are classified as primates, and are broken into three race classifications: Caucasoid, Mongoloid or Negroid (or some combination). Most sub-Saharan Africans are Negroid.

Yet, the prosecutors are so blind that they cannot see the hatred and polarization that they are inciting.
