Today Thursday 6th September about 40 ‘failed’ asylum seekers from Iraq and Iran marched from an authorised protest camp in Sellingen, in the east of the Netherlands, to the offices of the IND (Immigration and Nationality Directorate) in Ter Apel. The protesters say that they cannot be returned to their countries of origin and they are demanding that the government help them.

Meanwhile another protest camp of ‘failed’ asylum seekers has been set up in the grounds of a church in central Amsterdam.
