  • A Dutch civil court in The Hague on Thursday ordered the government to address grave safety issues at some of the country’s immigrant and asylum facilities.
  • The court found that conditions at Ter Apel did not meet basic European standards, offering insufficient hygienic and sanitary facilities, as well as lacking space for immigrants to sleep.
  • Frank Candel, chairman of the Dutch Council for Refugees, called the court’s decision “a crystal clear and necessary ruling.”
