With families and holiday-makers passing her as she relates her tale, Janneke’s story seems out of place on a beach. Janneke is a Dutch activist who, after protesting against the treatment of interned immigrants, was herself imprisoned under the Immigration Act for refusing to present her name and passport. She shares her experiences of the various facilities she was transported to, and the treatment she received there, seen and narrated from a Dutch perspective.
