In 1994 dozens of incidents involving life-threatening racist violence were reported in Holland, according to a recent overview produced by the Centrale Recherche Informatiedienst (CRI, national criminal intelligence service). Asylum seekers have been shot at by racist gunmen, their homes were set afire and drivers have deliberately run them over, arguing that "they claim our houses". Many directors of asylum seekers centres report receiving piles of threat letters containing bullets and other explicit dead threats to "friends of asylum seekers". Registered racist incidents number over a thousand annually, with the police estimating that only one in six incidents ever gets reported.
