….says the Dutch are “inhumane” to Muslim ‘refugees.’
Invasion of Europe report!
As we have told readers on many previous occasions, the European Union (in order to discourage asylum shopping) has a rule that says an asylum claim must be filed in the first country a would-be ‘refugee’ reaches in Europe. If the migrant moves on to another country (looking for a better deal), he/she must be returned to that first country.
This is the story from Dutch News:
A German court has refused to send a Somali asylum seeker back to the Netherlands, saying he runs the risk of receiving ‘inhumane treatment’, the NRC said on Saturday.
The man had lost his appeal for asylum in the Netherlands and then went to Germany, the NRC said.
The authorities there wanted to return him under the Dublin agreement, which states refugee applications must be dealt with the EU country a refugee first sets foot in.
However, a court in Darmstadt refused to do so, saying that it is not certain that asylum seekers in the Netherlands are given basic provisions such as food and a place to stay.
Germany: Netherlands bad!
The court said that in the Netherlands refugees are not allowed to work nor are they given government support. ‘Human values cannot be qualified by asylum policy,’ the NRC quoted the court as saying.
The paper says it is extremely rare for a EU country to use this reasoning to refuse to deport an asylum seeker to another European country.
Refugees are provided with food and shelter while their claim for asylum is being processed. However, if their claim fails and they refuse to go home, they can be evicted from refugee centres and left to fend for themselves.
My answer to Germany—-keep him yourself then!
