LIVE FROM LEEUWARDEN OCT 22

 An authorised fundraiser for the official 22 October Press Conference and the ongoing litigation before the District Court of the Northern Netherlands. 

The Narrative on Trial is an independent media and public-information project following, and officially supporting the lawsuit brought in the Netherlands against the State of the Netherlands, Bill Gates, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, Mark Rutte and fourteen other defendants from politics, business, media and science. 

The next substantive hearing on the merits takes place at the District Court of the Northern Netherlands in Leeuwarden on 22 October 2026. We are also organising and assisting in funding the Press Conference following the adjournment of the court hearing.

Any funds raised beyond our expenses will be donated directly to support the ongoing costs of litigation!

Our aim is simple: to make the case accessible to the public and to ensure that people around the world can follow the proceedings, examine the documents and evidence for themselves, and hear directly from those involved.

We are building a comprehensive public information resource around the case, including a dedicated website providing a clear case overview, the Case File, court documents, expert witness evidence, interviews, video and media coverage, together with translations of important court documents so that the proceedings can reach an international audience.

For 22 October, our work goes considerably further. In addition to organising the press conference, we are raising funds to enable an independent media team to travel to Leeuwarden to document and report on the substantive hearing and surrounding events. Travel and on-location production are among our largest expenses. We are also funding the professional crew, technical equipment and infrastructure required to livestream the press conference, record interviews and produce high-quality independent media and documentary material from the Netherlands.

Your support helps fund:

• End to end organisation of the press conference, including raising funds to pay for the venue itself and AV Equipment necessary for the live stream.
• The official press conference Live stream: including the professional crew, technicians, equipment and production costs required to bring it to an international audience.
• Travel and on-location coverage in Leeuwarden: enabling our independent media team to be there, document events and bring the story to the wider world.
• Independent media and documentary production: filming, interviews, editing, reporting and original content before, during and after the hearing and press conference.
• The Narrative on Trial information website: providing the public with the case overview, hearing information, media, translated court documents, the Case File and expert witness evidence in one accessible place.
• Translations: continuous translations of important court documents and other case material to make the proceedings accessible beyond the Netherlands.
• Ongoing public access and reporting: maintaining the resources needed to continue documenting and communicating developments as the case progresses.

Much of this work is being undertaken on a voluntary basis. We are committing our time, skills and energy because we believe proceedings of this significance should be documented thoroughly and made accessible to the public. But travel, professional production, livestreaming, technical services, translation, hosting and documentary work all carry real costs.

We therefore rely on public support to make this independent coverage possible.

Our commitment is to keep the eyes of the world on this case, on the proceedings and on the evidence as it is presented — and to provide the information and primary material that enables people to examine the case for themselves.

We must do the work that mainstream media is not doing. But we cannot do it alone.

Every contribution, large or small, helps us document the case, bring the 22 October hearing and press conference to an international audience and build a lasting public record of the proceedings.

Any funds raised above the amount required for the event organisation, independent media and information project, press conference organisation and cost, will be donated directly to contribute towards the costs of the case itself. We sincerely hope to raise enough not only to sustain this independent media effort, but also to help ensure that the case has the resources required to continue.

Thank you for helping us bring The Narrative on Trial to the world.
