Netherlands: Protests in Amsterdam

Police action during pro-Palestinian demonstration in 2024 was ‘harsher than necessary’, but not unlawful. After a disbanded demonstration on Dam Square in Amsterdam, the police transported demonstrators to the Westelijk Havengebied, where officers handed out blows with their batons. The police share the conclusions of an internal investigation following questions from Het Parool.
