Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Prosecutors say the last of a group of 12 Somalis arrested in the Netherlands last week on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack has been freed.
The group was taken into custody on 24 December after a tip from the country's intelligence agency and were then released in the days afterward. Prosecutors now say there is no evidence at all against nine.
Three, including the man released today, remain suspects, apparently based on evidence contained in the still-secret intelligence agency file.
No weapons or explosives were found in raids on their homes and businesses.
The intelligence agency and Justice Ministry have say authorities acted correctly in the case, even though apparently innocent people were jailed, as security concerns outweigh other rights.
