(NL Times) The Netherlands is planning on eventually forcing asylum seekers from Syria to return home, the Ministry of Asylum and Migration told RTL Nieuws. The ministry wants to follow Germany and Austria’s examples with this. Both countries recently announced that they are going to review all of the [Syrians’] asylum status again.
Germany has announced that their intention is to send all Syrians back who cannot speak German or do not have a job.
“To be clear: we will focus on their return,” the Ministry of Asylum said. The ministry is looking at voluntary return. “We will help Syrians who want to leave now to return where possible.”
But the ministry also stated that just like Germany, they will move to forcing people to go back when that becomes possible.
