Mayor Dijksma disappointed in judge’s decision on online area ban, possible appeal

Mayor Dijksma disappointed in judges decision on online area ban

According to the administrative court, the online area ban against the boy from Zeist goes against freedom of expression. Moreover, the APV on which Dijksma based her ban applies to the public physical living environment and not to the online world. The boy was 17 years old at the time and made the following call in a public group app: “Utrecht in revolt, no 2G & no fireworks ban! 26-11-21, 19.30, Kanaalstraat, Be there!!! Bring your mates & fireworks.”
