Dutch actor and climate activist Sieger Sloot took to social media, as he typically does, to encourage people to join a protest planned in The Hague in January.

But what Sloot thought was an innocent attempt to organise a non-violent demonstration to demand action to tackle the burgeoning climate emergency led to an eight-month ordeal resulting in a sedition conviction.

Drag's second person pronoun is drag, yes.

Thank you for the information. Drag is currently on a Dutch law research bender and has questions.

Is blocking the street a criminal offence against public authority?

Is assassinating a CEO a criminal offence against public authority?

Does the act have to be illegal in the Netherlands too, or does it just have to be illegal in the country where it's being incited? For example, would telling Saudi Arabians to have gay sex be opruiing?

If the law against the behaviour exists in the Netherlands, but the illegal act is done outside Dutch borders, does opruiing apply? Like, is telling a brit to assassinate King Charles opruiing?
