In the Netherlands, a 19-year-old Libyan refugee is being prosecuted with a demand for 3 years in prison for attempting to strangle someone with a belt

In an asylum seeker center in Budel, the Netherlands, a 19-year-old Libyan man was alleged to have attempted to strangle a Sudanese refugee with a belt. The incident occurred after the Sudanese asylum seeker went to the room where the Libyan was also present to smoke a cigarette.

While no detailed information was given in the news about the condition of the attacked Sudanese refugee, it was reported that the trial continues within the scope of the Dutch justice system. The incident in question has once again brought the tensions among asylum seekers living in refugee camps to the agenda.
