J. D. Domela Nieuwenhuis Nyegaad was a Dutch clergyman. He moved to Gent, was introduced to the Flemish Movement and became chairman of the activist group Jong. In his vision Flanders and the Netherlands should come under a German protectorate and a bond should be established, which would include all Germanic people. In 1917 Domela Nieuwenhuis was expelled from Jong-Vlaanderen. In October 1918 he fled to the Netherlands. Because of his pro-German attitude during the First World War the Belgian court sentenced him in 1919 to death for high treason. However, the Belgian Justice could not prosecute him in the Netherlands.
