Rights group attacks Dutch immigration policy

    Human Rights Watch has stated that a Dutch policy of forcing would-be immigrants to pass a language and culture test before seeking a visa, is discriminatory. The rights group said that the tests target families from developing nations such as Turkey and Morocco, because citizens from Japan, the United States, and other developed nations are exempt. “The overseas integration test is discriminatory because it explicitly applies only to relatives from predominantly non-Western countries,” said Human Rights Watch’s European director Holly Cartner.
