Dries van Agt, a Christian Democrat, was prime minister from 1977 to 1982. He founded the Rights Forum, a pro-Palestinian group.
Former Dutch Prime Minister Dries van Agt died by euthanasia “hand in hand” with his wife, Eugenie, on Feb. 5.
He and his wife, Eugenie van Agt-Krekelberg, were both 93 and had been married since 1958. Their deaths were part of an increase in couples choosing “duo euthanasia” in the Netherlands.
“He died hand in hand with his beloved wife Eugenie van Agt-Krekelberg, the support and anchor with whom he was together for more than 70 years and whom he always continued to refer to as ‘my girl,’” the Rights Forum, which was founded by van Agt, said in a Dutch statement, as translated by The Associated Press.
The Rights Forum is a pro-Palestinian group founded by the former prime minister in 2009.
