No Surrender Motorcycle Club is a Dutch outlaw motorcycle club. No Surrender was founded by Klaas Otto in 2013, and by 2014 claimed over 600 members.[2]
On 16 February 2016, Otto announced he left the club.[1]
Contribution to Fight against ISIS
In 2014, three members of the group were reported to have traveled to Iraq to fight alongside Kurdish forces against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria in Iraq and Syria,[3] an act which is not in itself a crime, according to authorities in the Netherlands.[4][5]
In June 2015, it was announced that one of the volunteers, Nomad Ron, had died in a traffic accident.[6]
