We urgently call on the Government of the Netherlands to suspend
plans to transfer failed asylum seekers to Uganda and ask relevant
European institutions to push the Dutch government to halt this
decision or face condemnation if humans are thrown into the den of
tormentors.
Over the past years, credible reports by Amnesty International, Human Rights
Watch, and United Nations bodies have documented widespread human
rights violations, including arbitrary detention, torture, political repression, and
the persecution of vulnerable groups. Recent developments indicate a
further deterioration of the situation.
Sending asylum seekers to Uganda would expose them to a real and
foreseeable risk of serious harm and would directly violate the
fundamental principle of non-refoulement, which prohibits transferring
individuals to countries where they may face persecution, torture, or
inhuman or degrading treatment.
As a Member State of the European Union and a party to the European
Convention on Human Rights, the Netherlands has a legal and moral
obligation to uphold international protection standards and ensure that asylum
policies respect human dignity and the rule of law.
We therefore call on the Dutch Government, Members of the Dutch
Parliament, Members of the European Parliament—particularly those within
the LIBE Committee—and the European Court of Human Rights to act
urgently and prevent any unlawful transfers.
Protecting asylum seekers is not only a legal duty; it is a reflection of
the values Europe claims to stand for.
