The Dutch National Ombudsman, Reinier van Zutphen, stresses the need for increased oversight on terrorism and radicalization registries following alarming cases of individuals wrongfully detained due to unclear listings. A report highlights insufficient transparency, leaving citizens unaware of their status and facing serious repercussions. Personal accounts reveal the distress caused by prolonged detentions, with one individual held for months without clear evidence. The ombudsman advocates for an independent oversight body to ensure proper scrutiny of safety services, addressing concerns over the opaque process of being placed on such lists.
