ER Editor: We had reported on this integrated living experiment in Amsterdam a few days ago, which started back in 2018 and has been the site of sexual violence and other problems. See this based on a documentary by Zembla —
Dutch project to integrate migrants with local students results in sexual assault, stalking and violence

Amsterdam Keeps Dormitory Open Despite Migrant Violence
Reports indicate that violent incidents—including sexual assaults and knife threats—have occurred in shared spaces at the experimental migrant residence in the Dutch capital.
The 250-resident dormitory house is half allocated to Dutch students and half to asylum seekers. A buddy system was introduced to foster cohesion between the groups. However, reports indicate that violent incidents, including sexual assaults and knife threats, have occurred in shared spaces. In one case, a Syrian resident involved in a sexual offense in 2019 was only removed in 2022 after committing a second sexual offence. He was later imprisoned.
Housing association Stadgenoot, responsible for the facility, requested an action plan from the municipality and police as early as 2019. Despite these warnings and staff threats, the municipality maintained that it could not abruptly displace 250 people.
The dormitory has drawn criticism from political parties including VVD and JA21, as well as councilor Anton van Schijndel of FvD. Even the city’s green mayor, Femke Halsema, acknowledged ongoing issues at the site.
The debate over migrant housing has intensified, following anti-immigration demonstrations last year across the Netherlands. In Houten and Uithoorn, protests against planned asylum shelters escalated into clashes with police, with fireworks and eggs thrown at officers and counter-protesters.
In September, clashes erupted in The Hague at “Elsfest,” a protest demanding stricter asylum laws and an end to mass immigration. A similar rally in Amsterdam in October protested the strain of migration on housing and safety.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
