Dutch police clashed with anti-immigration protesters in the city center of Amsterdam yesterday evening. The demonstration, organized by a far-right group opposed to immigration, quickly turned violent as protesters started throwing stones and setting off fireworks, prompting law enforcement to intervene.
According to the police, the protesters had gathered without a permit, leading to their dispersal. However, some of the demonstrators resisted, leading to clashes with the officers. The police used water cannons to disperse the crowd and make arrests.
On the other hand, the protesters claimed they were peacefully assembling to voice their concerns about what they perceive as an excessive influx of immigrants in the country. They accused the police of using excessive force to suppress their right to protest.
The clash resulted in several injuries on both sides, with reports of minor property damage in the area where the protest took place. A police spokesperson stated that they would investigate the incident to determine the cause of the escalation and the extent of the damages incurred.
The anti-immigration group behind the protest has vowed to continue their demonstrations in the coming weeks, despite the potential for further confrontations with law enforcement.
