A boy in the Netherlands has been sentenced for inciting terrorist acts with the aim of replacing democracy with an ethnically white state. The far-right boy was reportedly twelve years old when he started plans two years ago via a group on the Telegram app to, among other things, bomb the Flemish regional parliament in Brussels, according to reports from TV channel VRT. Plans also reportedly existed to attack a military airbase in Arnhem in the Netherlands, with the stated goal of forcing a race war.

The boy has now been sentenced by a court in Leeuwarden to three months of conditional youth detention and must also undergo treatment at a national support center against radicalization.
