More security after young refugees vanish

The justice ministry is to increase security at its Ter Apel refugee centre in Groningen following the disappearance of 11 young asylum seekers (known as AMAs).


The centre has low security so refugees can come and go as they please. Hundreds of young refugees have disappeared from Dutch asylum seeker centres over the past few years without anyone knowing what has happened to them.
