Netherlands .. Protests continue for the fourth day in a row, and police arrest dozens

Amsterdam-Sana

Protests continued in several Dutch cities for the fourth consecutive day, while police continued to crack down on protesters and arrested dozens of them.

According to the Dutch broadcaster NTK, protests erupted again in the capital, Amsterdam, as a large group of young men gathered in one of its neighborhoods, and the police and special forces units dispersed them using teargas and batons.

The city of Rotterdam witnessed similar protests, as police arrested 33 people and took them to detention centers, while social media users transmitted video clips they said were of an explosion in the Amsterdam suburb of Ossdrup, and other footage showed some of the protests that took place in separate areas and cities in the Netherlands.

The Dutch police arrested at least 150 people last night during protests in several cities.

The curfew imposed since the end of last week in the Netherlands for the first time since World War II against the backdrop of the Corona epidemic caused large demonstrations and confrontations between protesters and police forces in the main cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague, in addition to smaller cities such as Harlem, Amersfoort, Khailin and Den Bosch.

So far, the Netherlands has recorded 13,579 deaths and 952,950 cases of the emerging coronavirus.
