2020-04-17National Ombudsman presents report on limits to migration detention
The purpose of immigration detention is to ensure that people with no right to remain in the Netherlands are available for deportation. How this should be done has been a matter of debate for some years. In 2015 the Minister of Justice put forward draft legislation proposing a new differentiated regime and in May 2017 the Rotterdam detention centre introduced this new regime in anticipation of the legislation. This prompted the National Ombudsman to investigate the way the new regime works in practice.

Press freedom must not be undermined by measures to counter disinformation about COVID-19
In the past weeks, parliaments, governments and local authorities have adopted legislation, decrees or decisions that clearly risk hampering the work of journalists and restricting the public’s right to receive information.
