Hussein Issa, a Gaza student who was suspended by Maastricht University earlier in the year after being linked to Hamas, filed a complaint against associate professor Amanda Kluveld. His lawyers accused her of doxing, defamation and slander over a social-media video in which she allegedly publicised claims that he supported Hamas or had participated in its 7 October 2023 attack on Israel.

The reports said the claims linking Issa to Hamas were unfounded. The public prosecution service concluded that Issa had not committed a criminal offence.
