pregnancy died in center for the asylum seekers in Leersum town of Utrecht
province after she lacked urgent medical care.
“The woman
has been sick for many days and the click department nurses in the center have
been reluctant to assist and let her into the main hospital and the security
staff also rejected to call an ambulance and then she has passed away.” One of
the Somali asylum seekers told Utrecht TV.
“They treat
us like animal. They don’t give us respect so I would suggest to the government
to take this case of death into consideration.” Another refugee man said angrily.
There has
been wide-raging anger by the local government in Utrecht over the death of the
Somali woman as the authorities blamed the officials of the refugee center for neglecting
the woman’s life.
The leader
of the Groenlinks party Femke Halsema expressed her deepest sorrow over the death
of the Somali woman and asked for inquiry on this case.
According to
the latest figure by the Netherlands Immigration Department, around 23,000
Somali refugees live in the country as 9,000 of that number are being held in
centers for the asylum seekers that spread in the Netherlands regions.
