On Friday, Sept. 9, 2022, PILP, on behalf of client MiGreat Foundation, sent a summons letter regarding the tent ban in Ter Apel.

In the letter, PILP addresses the chairman of the Groningen Safety Region and the mayor of Westerwolde. They are summoned to immediately revoke the emergency ordinance in force there with the “tent ban” and to stop actively taking away camping equipment, including tents.

Prohibiting the erection of tents and actively taking away these resources without offering any alternative shelter is in itself contrary to human rights and the international obligations of the Dutch State.
