Internationale Dag tegen Polutiegeweld

The Netherlands has reported an increase in hate-crimes. In 2015, more than a dozen Dutch men in Woerden used eggs and fireworks to violently attack an asylum center accommodating 150 people seeking refuge, including 50 children. Of the 18 men charged, none received jail time. Then last summer, a Dutch man brutally attacked a South African tourist while she checked out of his AirBnb in Amsterdam.
