Belgian nationalist activist and former member of parliament Dries Van Langenhove was sentenced to one year in prison on Tuesday for being part of a private group chat seven years ago where people shared “racist” and “antisemitic” memes.
“Belgian nationalist activist and former member of parliament Dries Van Langenhove has just been sentenced to a year in prison, a 16,000 euro fine, and ten years of ‘deprived civil rights’ which will mean he is barred from politics,” Keith Woods reported on Twitter.
“His crime? He was in a private groupchat where offensive memes were posted,” he added. “This is an absolute disgrace. Western regimes are reaching new levels of tyranny to suppress nationalism.”
