Amsterdam Police Investigate Allegations of Violence During Pro-Palestine Protest
The Amsterdam police have launched an investigation into an incident at a pro-Palestine protest where a woman was injured. Initially believed to have fallen, new footage suggests she may have been struck by an officer’s baton. The demonstration, which was banned under an emergency order, drew a crowd that was subsequently pushed away by police. Eyewitnesses contend that the woman was hit before her fall, as the police confirm they are reviewing the newly surfaced video evidence. Amsterdam’s mayor, Femke Halsema, has dismissed claims of police violence, emphasizing the event’s illegal status.
