A Dutch court on September 11 sentenced Pakistani former international cricketer Khalid Latif to 12 years in prison for urging the murder of anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders. Latif, 37, had offered $22,500 for the head of Wilders in an online video after the firebrand lawmaker sought to arrange a competition for cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. It is extremely unlikely that Latif, who was convicted in absentia, will serve his sentence.
