Original Note:
He was not sentenced because of "racist memes" in a group chat he was part of but rather he was "convicted of inciting violence and denying the Holocaust". Additionally his lawyer announced to appeal the ruling which he has the right to and contradicts the tyranny claim. https://www.politico.eu/article/belgium-far-right-prodigy-dries-van-langenhove-prison-term-incite-violence-deny-holocaust/ https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2024/03/12/liveblog-vonnis-schild-en-vrienden/
