Thousands of people defied a ban on large gatherings as they took to the streets of the Dutch capital on Sunday in a violent demonstration against the strict measures in the country and vaccines.
Clashes erupted after the city’s mayor Femke Halsema issued an emergency ordinance empowering the
force to clear the central Museum Square. Shocking pictures and videos show police dogs gauging on protestors, sticking their sharp teeth in their limbs and dragging them on the asphalt.
Officers also slammed their batons and shields against the sea of bodies, and used water canons to disperse people. Before the specialist force moved in, the angry mob unfurled a banner that read ‘Less repression, more care’ near the Van Gogh Museum in the city centre.
A group of people dressed in white overalls and masks also held up signs that read: ‘It’s not about a virus, it’s about control’ and on the other ‘Freedom’.
