Dutch Asylum Minister rejects calls to stop returning Yazidis to Iraq

The Dutch Asylum Minister has decided against halting the return of Yazidis to Iraq, despite calls to stop such returns.

Background

Since 2014, Yazidis have faced persecution, including displacement and genocide, primarily by ISIS in Iraq. Many sought asylum in European countries, but some nations are now considering or implementing their return to Iraq, citing improved conditions or security concerns. This policy shift raises humanitarian concerns regarding the safety and well-being of returnees.
