Dutch court voids language test for foreigners
None
A Dutch court ruled Friday that an illiterate Moroccan woman need not pass a Dutch language test before joining her husband in the Netherlands - a decision that went against government policy aimed at restricting immigration from non-Western countries.
Activists applauded the ruling by the Amsterdam District Court and said the government should scrap the requirement entirely, which they say is discriminatory and violates international human rights law. (AP)
