The Netherlands: court stopped deportation of Kazakh Muslim refugees
Refugees from Kazakhstan won a small but very important victory in the Dutch court in Middelburg, where their deportation case was tried on July 24, 2014.
B.Shakiyev, his family of three children and relative N. Shakiyev are Kazakh refugees (their names are changedfor obvious reasons). They asked for political asylum in the Dutch capital at the Amsterdam Airportin May 2012.
They had been persecuted in Kazakhstan by the national security services for several years for their religious beliefs. As a result, they were forced to secretly leave the country and apply for asylum in the Netherlands.
