The Netherlands Support grows for child refugee amnesty

6 Feb 2012 | asylum fum refugees

‘Dutch News’ reports that at least 25 local councils, including Eindhoven, Amsterdam and Utrecht, have thrown their weight behind a campaign to win residency permits for refugee children. The initiative from left-wing green party Groenlinks is aimed at supporting draft legislation drawn up by the Labour party and ChristenUnie. The two parties want children who have lived in the Netherlands for at least eight years to be given a residency permit.
