Last month, three activists visited the Haarlemmermeer Municipality to look into plans for a new deportation prison at Schiphol Airport, anti-deportation group DC-16 reports. Since they were not allowed to make photocopies, they traced one of the drawings. The new prison will replace the one where eleven prisoners died in a fire in 2005. More in Image from Amsterdam.

The later Magnum photographer Leonard Freed lived in Amsterdam from 1957 until 1970, where he associated with artists such as Ed van der Elsken and Karel Appel. Between 1958 and 1962 he portrayed people from Indonesia and the Moluccas who had recently arrived in the Netherlands. At the photos, now on display at the Tropenmuseum, the locals look more exotic than the immigrants. More in Image from Amsterdam.
