Military intelligence service not informing citizens that they're under investigation
NL TimesThe Military Intelligence and Security Service still does not inform citizens if they have been the subject of an investigation and certain actions have been taken against them. The Supervisory Committee of the Intelligence and Security Services said this after an investigation. For example, if their communications have been tapped in connection with a threat to national security, if a letter or package has been opened, or if their house has been searched, citizens must be informed about this within five years after the action happened. Involved persons are thus deprived of the opportunity “to appeal or file a complaint,” and thus, their fundamental right “to submit disputes with the MIVD to an independent and impartial judge or complaints organization” is limited.
