On 22 April 2022 the Supreme Court of the Netherlands reaffirmed previous 2019 and 2020 bans on No Surrender in the Netherlands,^[11] making it a permanent ban.

On 26 July 2022 an explosion occurred in the 's-Hertogenbosch residence of Gracia K., who had recently started dating former No Surrender leader Klaas Otto.^[12]
