I'm assuming both gentlemen in the picture are elected MPs from Netherlands and from your link: that Geert Wilders was arrested and on trial for protesting that the Country has rejected asylum for a Christian woman from Pakistan - Asia - while allowing in thousands of Muslims.

In my opinion the real defenders of democracy are in Pakistan where there is none. It being a controlled by a shadow government of the Military and Muslim religious bodies.

Pakistan's Dawn report: Asia bibi stated she had a quarrel with Mafia and Asma on June 14, 2009, over their refusal to drink water bought for them by Asia bibi because she was Christian.


Background Story:
The women had a fight and traded remarks over Christianity and Islam. Asia was beaten up by mobs on 2 occasions and then arrested by P Police and in custody since then.

November 2010, a trail court sentenced Asia to death under Pakistan's Penal Code.

In 2011, Punjab Governor Taseer voiced his support for Asia and spoke against the blasphemy law. He was then assassinated by his Guard for his comments.

Then, Shahbaz Bhatti, Pakistan’s Minister for Minorities, was also killed in 2011, after seeking justice for Asia.

In October 2014, Lahore High court upheld the verdict of death penalty by the trail court.

In October 2018, the Supreme Court overturned the verdicts.

Now the SC judge is under death threat while the Pakistan Government is not allowing her to leave the Country.

So the defenders of democracy are these few and they are in Pakistan; unless of course one cannot be a defender if one is dead.
