The board of the Islamic Unity Party reports that the party is withdrawing from the municipal elections in Zwijndrecht. The party leader is seriously threatened. It is about “persistent and very serious threats” and he no longer dares to take to the street. The children of the party leader are also mentioned as targets. The three other politicians on the candidate list threw in the towel earlier this week. The tweets are not legal threats, according to the police. A threatener would have been arrested, but the criminal case against this person has been dropped.
