Following the second decision of the Court of The Hague – which granted me a successful outcome in the case against the Municipality of Rotterdam (and which thereby closes proceedings against both the University and the City) – I would like to warmly thank everyone, all those who intellectually, spiritually and financially supported me in this commitment to justice.
These two court decisions highlight two lessons relating to the general atmosphere in the West towards Islam. The context of general suspicion allowed certain institutions (whether public or private) to make decisions that are contrary to respecting the rights of Muslims towards their jobs and their freedom of conscience and expression.My case, in this sense, is indicative of processes that adversely affect the integrity of the person and the reputation. The second lesson from this case is that no one, whoever they are, should in any way accept such treatment since justice, when it prevails, allows us to recover our rights and ascertain the facts.
This situation has happened twice for me in the Netherlands, and I hope that those who are facing unfair treatment or discrimination will find encouragement to defend their rights.
In financial terms, the total allowances paid in both cases amounted to little more than a quarter of the amount that had been requested – for the entire two cases this compensation amounts to € 29 000, while we were asking € 103,000 (which was the due salary for the remaining two year contract with the Municipality and the University).
This victory is a victory above all for the principle. I hope that the sum of € 29,000 will be sufficient to cover legal fees and the procedures still to be resolved (remaining invoices and expenses over this past year). The payment of these fees and final expenses will put an end to this procedure. If any of the € 29,000 is left after all due fees and any related incurred expenses have been paid, the remaining balance will be paid to the account of ‘Just Cause’ to support other justice procedures (for people in need).
A big thank you again
