easteuropian :

where are the comments from the Dutch authorities? maybe showing the other side could clarify the situation. without asking them to comment makes this story empty. everyone who applies for asylum would tell you that they would be killed at home, even if they just want to exploit the kindness of another nation - get free allowances, housing, healthcare, education etc. they often forget that the money doesn't grow on trees in any lands, and the money that the real refugees are receiving is coming from the country's taxes, meaning that the people of that land are actually working so they can be fed, clothed, sheltered etc. they want to help refugees, and not all the people, who think that it's their right to get stuffs for free or it is much cooler to live in a rich country and get rich fast.
I can not picutre someone, who travels to Kyrgyzstan and Turkey on business, as a person who lives in such dire circumstances at home that he should be affraid of being put to jail. if it would be like that, he would not be able either to make so much money that he could travel to these lands, or to have permission to travel. not liking the goverment is not the same as living in danger at home. and why can't he make his story strait? (red hering.)
making a baby while he hasn't been accepted as an asylum seeker makes him a very irresponsible man. I cannot believe that this man made a woman a mother without making it sure that he can support her and the baby. I cannot help but thinkig that he is using the baby to blakmail the authorities to give him the right to stay, stating that he has a family already there... sorry, but this guy doesn't look anything else than an agressive soldier of fortune.
about the closed camp: everyone who is illegaly staying in a country should leave it asap. not accepting the law and the authorities already makes him someone not suitable to live in that country.
(just to make it clear: I'm not a Dutch person, and I feel for the refugees, but not at all for this guy. I'm sorry for the baby, I hope the mother will be able to find another guy (who knows the word responsibility) to raise her together)

Anonymous Reader :

How many Dutch Jews were deported to Nazi concentration camps during WWII? It's shameful Holland is considering deporting Uighur refugees to China where they'll be tortured & possibly killed. Shame on the Netherlands!
