Halsema: government must apologize to Moluccans who were forced to come to the Netherlands

Mayor Halsema believes that the Dutch government should apologize to the thousands of Moluccan ex-soldiers of the Royal Dutch East Indies Army (Knil) and their families who were forced to come to the Netherlands in the 1950s. She said this on Wednesday at a commemoration of the arrival of Moluccans in Amsterdam.
