Netherlands' migration minister, Mark Harbers (pictured), resigned on Tuesday following an outcry over a report which appeared to downplay crime statistics in relation to asylum-seekers.
Harbers presented a report to the Dutch parliament that included information on crimes committed by asylum-seekers Various misdemeanors, such as shoplifting, had their own separate categories but serious crimes such as sexual assault, murder and manslaughter were placed under the category "other."
He was accused of attempting to hide the figures.
