(NL Times) An underage refugee can lose his asylum permit more quickly after a conviction for a serious offense against public order, such as public violence or membership in a terrorist organization. Minister Marjolein Faber of Asylum and Migration wants to complete this change within two weeks.
The Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND) can currently only revoke an asylum permit from a minor if certain conditions are met. The person must have been convicted under adult law, and the sentence must be at least six months. Faber cannot say how many minors are involved in such serious crimes each year.
She is going to remove these conditions from the Foreign Nationals Circular so that the permit can be refused or revoked.
