Volkert van der Graaf
Volkert van der Graaf (born 9 July 1969) is a Dutch convicted murderer who assassinated politician Pim Fortuyn, the leader of the Pim Fortuyn List (LPF), on 6 May 2002, shooting him in the head, neck, and chest at close range.〔(Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn assassinated )〕 This occurred during the political campaign for the Dutch general elections of 2002. An environmental and animal rights activist,〔(Marlise Simons, "Dutch Suspect In Slaying Championed Animal Rights" ), ''New York Times'', 9 May 2002, Retrieved 20 April 2011〕 he said at his trial that he murdered Fortuyn to stop him from exploiting Muslims as "scapegoats" and targeting "the weak members of society" in seeking political power.〔(Fortuyn killed 'to protect Muslims' ), The Daily Telegraph, 28 March 2003:(der Graaf ) said his goal was to stop Mr Fortuyn exploiting Muslims as "scapegoats" and targeting "the weak parts of society to score points" to try to gain political power.〕〔(Fortuyn killer 'acted for Muslims' ), CNN, 27 March 2003:
:Van der Graaf, 33, said during his first court appearance in Amsterdam on Thursday that Fortuyn was using "the weakest parts of society to score points" and gain political power.〕
Van der Graaf was arrested shortly after shooting Fortuyn, who died immediately. In court Van der Graaf testified that he had become alarmed that Fortuyn was using Muslims and immigrants as scapegoats in a campaign to seek political power. He thought the politician endangered society with his controversial statements. His trial started on 27 March 2003. He was convicted on 15 April 2003 and sentenced to 18 years in prison. The trial generated large interest from the Dutch public, especially Fortuyn supporters.〔 Van der Graaf appealed for the reduction of the sentence to 16 years, but on 18 July 2003, the appeals court upheld the previous sentence. He was released on parole in May 2014 after serving almost 12 years in prison.〔(Daily Mail )〕
