Up to 30,000 asylum seekers will be allowed to stay in the Netherlands after the Dutch government announced an amnesty.
The pardon will apply to those who sought asylum in the Netherlands before April 2001, many of whom have been in the country for years appealing against expulsion.
An estimated 25,000 to 30,000 people who arrived in the country before immigration laws were tightened will qualify, junior justice and labour minister Nebat Albayrak told a press conference.
