Scholarship student’s claims of involvement in the 7 October 2023 attack

What was going on

An international scholarship student at Maastricht University is said to have boasted to others about involvement in the attack of 7 October 2023 in Israel, in which 1,200 people were killed. Whether or not that is true, such claims affect safety, social cohesion and trust in the city.

What SAB did

SAB councillor Jos Gorren has put the matter to the mayor and aldermen. SAB is asking for clarity: what does the city know about this, and what is being done together with the university and the police?

The outcome

No answer yet. SAB wants this to be looked into seriously, so that everyone in Maastricht feels safe. As soon as there is an answer, you will hear it from us.

Drug dealing in Belfort and Boschpoort

What was going on

According to residents, drugs are dealt almost daily at the Belfort shopping centre and at the former SPAR in Boschpoort. In Belfort even opposite a school. Always in the same places, despite reports.

What SAB did

SAB has put official questions to the mayor and aldermen. How many reports are there? What are the city and the police doing? How are children being protected?

The outcome

No answer yet. SAB wants a targeted approach with the police and the public prosecutor, so both neighbourhoods are safe for young and old, and clarity about the measures within 10 days. As soon as there is an answer, you will hear it from us.
