On Wednesday, an African asylum-seeker tried to commit suicide in a refugee centre in the south of the Netherlands. He suffered serious burns and has been taken to a hospital over the border in Germany.
The suicide attempt was the latest in a string of events involving asylum-seekers who often have to wait for years before the authorities decide whether or not they'll be given refugee status.
Rasul, a 21-year-old Afghan, was one of those desperate asylum-seekers. On May 8, 2011, he drowned himself.

No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity.Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow creatures is amusing in itself.(James A. Froude, Oceana.).
Asyum seekers 'have a feeling they are not welcome here'. - And their feeling is right, by many people they aren't.
