Developments: 2. An incident involving a minor at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) began when the student reportedly directed insults, threats, and a Nazi salute toward fellow students during an Electrical Engineering lecture. Police arrested the student at his residence to investigate the threats and racist content allegedly shared in student group chats, including footage related to the 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks. Following the incident, the Public Prosecution Service (OM) opted not to pursue criminal prosecution, characterizing the individual as a “vulnerable suspect” in need of assistance. After discussions with the student and his father, it was agreed that the student would leave the Netherlands to return to his home country. The OM and the university noted that the student’s departure and a ban from the TU/e campus would prevent further unrest. The university described the development as “reassuring” for the campus community. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-22: TU Eindhoven student leaves Netherlands after Hitler salute incident A student at TU Eindhoven has left the Netherlands after performing a Hitler salute and making racist remarks during a lecture.
